Goodreads

A fun and fascinating look at the microbes that surround us in our homes, our yards, our food, and yes, our bodies. Conversational and humorous in tone, with colorful cartoon drawings throughout, this book is informative as well as entertaining. The chapters are short, the language is accessible, add in some occasionally creepy and gross details and you have high appeal for the upper elementary set. Interviews with scientists are interspersed and suggestions for further reading and a bibliography are included at the end of the book.
