Read and find out the science behind a pandemic and how to stay safe
in this illustrated, informative nonfiction picture book.
Everybody gets sick now and then--maybe with a runny nose or a sore
throat. But sometimes, a lot of people get sick at once. If a disease
spreads all over the world, that's a pandemic.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of kids across the
world and has caused fear and confusion as people in charge have given
conflicting orders. Read to discover the answers to some of your biggest
questions, including:
What is a pandemic? How are they created and spread? Has anything like
this ever happened before? What is a coronavirus? What can we do to stay
safe and healthy?
While pandemics are rare, several have happened throughout the world's
history, such as the bubonic plague and smallpox, and our scientists
have observed and learned some important lessons, such as the importance
of vaccines.
This Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out shares important facts about past
and current pandemics, taking readers from the origin of the word
"quarantine" and through history's many pandemics, to milestones such as
the first vaccine that helped end smallpox.
This book also comes with a handwashing diagram, a glossary, and a
timeline of past pandemics and their impact on the world.
This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age
kids, both at home and in the classroom. It's a Level 2
