Using friendly text, the most “common” virus, rhinovirus that causes the common cold, explains how viruses work and spread. It uses fairly scientific language, with the exception of snot, but the cartoonish illustrations do much to illustrate the concepts. It discusses the new coronavirus that NO ONE has ever seen so can get EVERYONE sick. It does support vaccines which could bother some but it is not written strongly. Also included are a glossary of terms, recommendations for further reading, and a bibliography. Good information about illnesses.

Recommend for grades 2-5
