This book is very interesting... and fun! It as funny poems; that make it easy to understand germs. The pictures are AMAZING! I brought the book into school. People were so into it, that it was hard to take it home! Germ Stories was read over, and over, and over again by my classmates! I think the age group should be from 4 years old, to ten. I really recommend it!

A wonderful picture book written by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist with stories that rhyme about all the most famous and infamous germs. My 3 year old received this as a present and the whimsical drawings of germs pulled her right in. Even my almost 2 year old loves this book. The germs are actually cute! You can imagine the fun we all had as the kids point out various pictures and the adults get to say, "That's salmonella!" and "Look, helicobacter pylori look like little slugs!" The fun continues with the kids trying out the scientific names for the cute "bugs" the see in the book. Washing hands and why we get ear infections take on new meaning. This book has been extremely educational and fun for the whole family. It's appropriate for kids of all ages- adults included!

As a microbiology "nerd" I LOVE this book. I bought it for my young child so we could start learning our bugs early. The pictures are brilliant the rhyming verses are catchy and the book is just overall fun! I will not only use this for my child, I will also be reading this book to my students before teaching them more details about each microbe. What a great and fun way to learn and remember!
