Book Reviews of Germ Stories
Book Review: A Wonderful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Summary of Germ Stories
"I told my three sons stories about germs more than fifty years ago as fanciful bedtime tales." So begins this charming collection of poems written by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Arthur Kornberg to help us learn about the germs that help and harm us. These rollicking, entertaining, and informative poems have been illustrated with witty and amusing watercolors and the book also contains electron micrographs and a glossary for the child who wants to go deeper into the world of microbiology.Biology Books
