Description

This book will blow your child's mind! Big Science explained simply

The perfect picturebook to introduce little minds to big ideas!

Germs combines bold, colourful illustrations with jokes and incredible science facts to introduce young readers to the fascinating, yucky world of... you guessed it: germs! In just 32 pages they'll learn about viruses and bacteria, vaccines and antibiotics, as well as finding out the answers to such important questions as: Why shouldn't we sneeze in people's faces? Should you eat that old sausage you found in your coat pocket? (Spoiler alert: no) and What were toilets like in the olden days?

Advance Praise

“A lively way for children to come to terms with germs… Offers nuggets of unforgettable wisdom, while laying down some vital scientific groundwork… A 10-minute masterclass in microbiology, aimed at readers as young as four… [reducing] the most complex subjects to easy peasy ideas.”
--The Telegraph
