Everyone loves Gabby’s homemade cherry chocolate cupcakes, and she’s been looking forward to baking them for the tea party. But now she’s sad because she’s getting a cold and can’t make them after all. Gabby knows how illnesses spread, and she doesn’t want her friends to get sick. She’s staying home from school so she won’t give them her germs.

Kids are notorious for bringing their colds to school, getting their classmates sick in the process. Gabby teaches them how to cough and sneeze safely, so they won’t spread germs. She also shares her favorite cupcake recipe, so everyone can enjoy it.

Gabby’s Sore Throat and the Cherry Chocolate Cupcakes is part of the Green Apple Tales series. These books are designed to teach kids about food safety in a fun way. Perfect for the classroom or a doctor’s waiting room, they’re enjoyable to read without being preachy.
