A peak into the most mysterious and yet most consequential world。 It seems great for any age as long as they have the interest。 This is my 3 year old's new favorite book （he's become very interested in germs in the covid-19 era）。 As I read it to him， and he proclaims， "This is a great book！"It's not simplistic either。 I imagine it's written for much older kids， maybe middle school age。My parents and I learned a lot from this book， and we're science minded though physics is our normal focus。There A peak into the most mysterious and yet most consequential world。 It seems great for any age as long as they have the interest。 This is my 3 year old's new favorite book （he's become very interested in germs in the covid-19 era）。 As I read it to him， and he proclaims， "This is a great book！"It's not simplistic either。 I imagine it's written for much older kids， maybe middle school age。My parents and I learned a lot from this book， and we're science minded though physics is our normal focus。There are stunning real images of microbes， great brief explanations， full of applications which touch our daily lives， and a few cartoon drawings of microbes to bring humor and character to the viruses。 It's a perfect resource for a budding microbiologist！ 。。。more

I bought this in a large book haul of educational books and the cover was an attention-getter for me and my 5 year old。 The illustrations are just as captivating on the inside as well。 We were so enthralled， my 5 year old asked me to read him the whole thing right then。 Of course， it's 60 pages， so I couldn't do that， but we were excited to start reading 2 pages a night （every two pages is a new educational theme about bacteria） at bedtime。 With a total of 60ish pages， we finished in a month （bu I bought this in a large book haul of educational books and the cover was an attention-getter for me and my 5 year old。 The illustrations are just as captivating on the inside as well。 We were so enthralled， my 5 year old asked me to read him the whole thing right then。 Of course， it's 60 pages， so I couldn't do that， but we were excited to start reading 2 pages a night （every two pages is a new educational theme about bacteria） at bedtime。 With a total of 60ish pages， we finished in a month （but each reading only takes about 5-10 minutes）。 He would beg for more because this book made it so much fun to learn about bacteria and germs。 I learned quite a lot， and when his grandma came to visit for a night， she learned something new that night too。 For children with older grade school kids （my oldest is 6 now）， I think they would have fun with it， but I think it's a great fit for as young as 4ish。 The format is very inviting and all the pages are covered in vibrant colored pictures that are tasteful， current， and relative to the content discussed。 The pictures help make the information come alive so it is more approachable and easier to remember the content。 I would highly recommend。 My favorite part was that this book accidentally started a non-fiction bedtime story tradition in our home。 We had so much fun that I picked up many more books like it like the DK eyewitness books or USborne （and anything else really， that follows a similar format or teaching method with the information） and we read two pages every night before we read our fairytales etc。 One of the best educational books I ever bought because it sparked a light in my son for learning and reading and what more could I ask of a book？ Right now， we are in the midst of Human Anatomy （by DK， I think， which you can find both on Amazon）。 。。。more

This illustrated book is really helpful to understand the basic microbiology。 It is not only for kids but also for adults who want to have a primary knowledge about the microscopic world of animals。。The topics are covered from the very basics。 Bacteria， protozoa， virus， algae， fungus， archae， vaccine- are discussed in a way easily comprehended by young readers。 The mind blowing pictures of the tiny tiny microscopic creatures shown in this book sometimes make us "wow" and sometimes make us feelin This illustrated book is really helpful to understand the basic microbiology。 It is not only for kids but also for adults who want to have a primary knowledge about the microscopic world of animals。。The topics are covered from the very basics。 Bacteria， protozoa， virus， algae， fungus， archae， vaccine- are discussed in a way easily comprehended by young readers。 The mind blowing pictures of the tiny tiny microscopic creatures shown in this book sometimes make us "wow" and sometimes make us feeling really creepy and gross。。 Are all these microbes bad for us？ Not really！ The bacteria living in your guts help you digest foods。。Though they are so small that you can't see them with your naked eye， don't underestimate them。 There are many of them which can be deadly！ Did you know your mouth contains bacteria more than there are people in the world？Did you know most people have mites in their eyes which feed on the dead cells of their eyelashes？ Ewe！！Did you know there is a fungi which cause ants to turn into "Zombie" ants？！ Welcome to this eerie yet wonderful world of microbes。 。。。more

Oh。 My。 Goodness。 This turned out a perfect choice by my 5-year-old。 He liked the colorful， monster-filled book， but turned out to be really fascinated by the explanations of germs and viruses， especially。 I read this to him 3 days in a row。 And that doesn't count the extra times he looked at the pictures on his own。 Thanks to our public library for opening up my little guy's world a little more to the wonders of science at an age-appropriate level。 Oh。 My。 Goodness。 This turned out a perfect choice by my 5-year-old。 He liked the colorful， monster-filled book， but turned out to be really fascinated by the explanations of germs and viruses， especially。 I read this to him 3 days in a row。 And that doesn't count the extra times he looked at the pictures on his own。 Thanks to our public library for opening up my little guy's world a little more to the wonders of science at an age-appropriate level。 。。。more
