Review:

Do you know what microbes are? Did you know there is a fungus that spreads 3.8 square miles under the Blue Mountains? Microbes are everywhere. They are naked to the eye, and they eat, move and sense things. Microbes might seem a little gross and mysterious, but they can do some cool things. Microbes help with digestion of food and are the reason we can eat bread and cheese. On the other hand, microbes can make us sick with the flu and other illnesses. 

This simplistic yet colorful guide shares the basics of microbes. Young readers will enjoy the imagery and fun facts found on each page. Teachers can use this guide as a quick reference as to why kids should wash their hands, brush their teeth and so on. The back pages have more detail in each of the types of microbes shared helping readers learn more.
