The science lab has men, women and a woman of colour. I like the look on the babies face when the needle is about to go in her arm, very complacent and unknowing that this is going to hurt. Very nicely written.

This nonfiction book explains how viruses and bacteria affect the human body and how your body fights them. It is an easy to understand book filled with facts about how we get sick. The book contains a list of eight rules to good health.
I enjoyed reading this book. The facts were mixed with humor
I would use this book during a science lesson on germs. Before I read the book I would ask each student to come up with a list of ways to stay healthy. We could then compare our lists to the one in the book. I would also like to get a microscope with slides of germs and bacteria for the students to see.

I liked this book! It is a non-fiction book all about germs! The book gives information about germs in a way that children can understand it. For example, “You’re riding a bike. You fall and scrape your knee. Germs from the ground may get under your skin.” This is relatable because most kids

ride their bike and fall! ☺ I also really liked the illustrations. There were several different characters and animals throughout the story. There were also a lot of great text features such as captions. For example, at one point there was a girl in a dentist chair and the captions says, “Too many candy bars, Nancy!” Once again, this shows how relatable the book is because dentists tell most kids that! Lastly, I enjoyed that the author spread the information out between the text and pictures. This made it much more engaging! There was no overall theme, except for, how to stay healthy! Show Less
