It's totally gross - and totally timely - Meet the Germs by award-winning comedy writer Edward Kay will turn any child into a master of germs.
Kids will get up close and personal with microbes (yuck) in this entertaining, thoroughly entertaining exploration of the science and history of these tiny ubiquitous creatures. With plenty of gross-out factor to keep readers interested, the book covers what germs are, how we get sick, how the human immune system works, and how best to stay healthy. There are intriguing stories about early attempts to fight disease (heard of cadaver catapults? how about shaved chicken butts?), as well as epidemics and pandemics that changed the course of history. A look into the future describes how microbes can be useful for cleaning up the environment and solving crimes. This is a kid-friendly overview that provides the perfect introduction to the world of microbes. With germs all over the news and on the minds of children and adults around the world, award-winning author Edward Kaye clarifies the story as he mixes a wealth of reliable information with humor, cool fun facts, and gruesome details to make learning fun. Mike Schiell's hilarious comic book style art enhances the grossness and appeal. The topic of germs - a general term for bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses - is very relevant and interesting to children, and the relevant information is presented in an accessible and easy-to-use manner. This book has many interdisciplinary references in life sciences, technology, health, and history.
