What exactly are germs? And what do they do? The acclaimed and
award-winning author and artist of A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars
have created a timely--and funny!--introduction to germs and the human
body's natural response to the microscopic (sometimes) organisms. An
informative and accessible choice for fans of Andrea Beatty's Ada
Twist, Scientist and Kimberly Derting and Shelli R. Johannes's Loves
Science series.
Did you know that there are quadrillions of germs in the world? And that
hundreds of billions of germs may be in the room around you--and inside
you as well?
Acclaimed creators Seth Fishman and Isabel Greenberg explore the five
main types of germs--bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and
helminths--and the human immune system that protects us from them. Seth
Fishman expertly breaks down this complex topic with humor--and with a
large dose of wonder at the human body and the world around us. Isabel
Greenberg's signature bright, comic-style illustrations bring life to
this microscopic landscape so that young readers can pore over each
page.
