From the Publisher
We'd like to share some of the positive responses to the Five Kids & A Monkey series that we have received here at the offices of The Creative Attic, Inc.:
"(Five Kids & A Monkey books) fill a health void most delightfully and are sure to please the elementary-age student. You have been able to make understandable seemingly difficult topics such as good hygiene, proper nutrition, and infectious diseases. May I congratulate you...on creating a set of books that will be best sellers with students and parents alike." (Shirley M.R. Minster, MS Ed., Director, Home Education & Family Services, Gray, Maine)
"The Five Kids & A Monkey learning adventures are a fun way for young readers to learn serious information. Not only is the lighthearted approach appealing, the humor helps them retain the content longer." (Dottie Bengoian, Educator, Motivational Speaker, Humorist, Fairfield, CT)
"Lurking in every kid is a wish to play detective. When that can be combined with learning about health, this series...is a winner! Parents, teachers and great-grandparents like us can play, too!" (Ross and MaryLou Callaway, "Senior Voices" columnists, The Oakland Press, Pontiac, MI)

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun, fact-filled book about germs!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Investigate a Vicious Virus: Book 1 (Five Kids & a Monkey) (Paperback)
If you're looking for a painless introduction to a healthy topic, this book is for you. It has an appealing cast of characters, an interactive format, and accurate information. My daughter (age 9) learned a lot of useful information while having a great time reading it
