    About The Bacteria Book

    In this fun, fact-packed science book for kids, young readers will discover the bacteria, viruses, and other germs and microbes that keep our bodies and our world running, as well as how and when they can be harmful and the precautions we can take to prevent them from becoming so.

    Meet a glowing squid, traveling fungus spores, and much more. The Bacteria Book walks the line between “ew, gross!” and “oh, cool!,” exploring why we need bacteria and introducing readers to its microbial mates—viruses, fungi, algae, archaea, and protozoa.

    The Bacteria Book is a fun and informative introduction to a STEM subject that brings kids up-close to the big world of tiny science. With remarkable photography, kooky character illustrations, and lots of fun facts, this book uses real-life examples of microbiology in action to show how tiny microbes affect us in big ways.

    About The Bacteria Book

    Bacterias, virus, hongos y otros microbios encantadoramente asquerosos

    Prepárate para descubrir las bacterias que hacen que te tires pedos, los ácaros que viven en tus pestañas y el hongo que transforma las hormigas en zombis.

    Praise

    In an overview of “peculiar, pulsating creatures” that are too small to be seen with the naked eye, the appropriately named Mould keeps his eye on the ick factor as he dishes out basic facts about the viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, archaea, and “micro animals” with which we share the planet. He also describes how diseases are caught and spread, explains how our immune system works, and, backed by a closing timeline, covers the development of microbiology and antibiotics…. Memorable insights into the invisible world. (glossary, index) (Nonfiction. 7-10) —Kirkus Reviews

    “While Mould definitely promotes the yuck factor, he moderates it with humor…Just watch the grubby fingers reach for this one.” —Booklist 

    “The Bacteria Book is an expert blend of visual and written information. There are lots of great attention-grabbing photos, with short blocks of text, and sidebars filled with arresting facts…Like all the best non-fiction books, it informs, entertains, and astounds. Highly recommended” —GeekDad.com
