Reviews
... children will pore over it with fascination, no doubt exclaiming, "Ooh, gross!" at frequent intervals!-- Canadian Children's Book News, Microbiology is an unlikely topic for a younger reader, however, this book describes in detail, and with much humour, the many microbes that live in, on and around us every day.-- Resource Links, The information presented is scientific, intensely personal, and fun to know.-- School Library Connection, Microbiology might seem like a complex subject to broach with middle-graders, but in her new book, Claire Eamer succeeds in explaining the basics in terms that kids will understand.-- Quill & Quire, An excellent example of engaging science writing, this title would be a useful mentor text for young science writers and a fine addition to science programs dealing with the topic of the human body.-- School Library Journal - starred review, ... children will pore over it with fascination, no doubt exclaiming, ?Ooh, gross!? at frequent intervals!-- Canadian Children's Book News

Synopsis
"Wherever you go, tiny hitchhikers tag along for the ride," this intriguing illustrated nonfiction book begins. "The hitchhikers are actually microbes --- tiny living things so small that you need a microscope to see them. And every person carries around trillions and trillions of these critters." Six of the most common "critters" that live in and on our bodies are introduced here: bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, protists and mites. Each one has its own preferred environment, and readers will be startled (and likely a little grossed out!) by the many places they live, including the hair follicles on our faces, the folds of our tongues and the lengths of our guts. Just as surprising, only some of them are "bad guys" that cause disease, and many of them are actually "good guys" that keep us healthy. There's even research currently being done on ways to improve or fix our collection of microbes as a way to make us healthier. Author Claire Eamer's clear, well-organized and accessible writing --- augmented throughout with fun facts and silly microbe jokes in sidebars --- keeps the book interesting and enjoyable. Marie-Ève Tremblay's bright and cheerfully funny illustrations bring the details to delightful life. With its cutting-edge information about a topic children will find fascinating, this book makes an excellent complement to a life science lesson on the human body. It would also work well for a class on healthy living. A table of contents, glossary and index are included., None of us are ever really alone --- not with the trillions and trillions of microbes that call our bodies home. Recent scientific research has uncovered just how interdependent our relationships with these tiny "hitchhikers" are, and that lots of them are actually good for us! Filled with intriguing information and just enough yuck factor, kids will be thrilled to discover what a big deal these small "critters" who live in and on their bodies are. No hand sanitizer required!, 'Wherever you go, tiny hitchhikers tag along for the ride, ? this intriguing illustrated nonfiction book begins. ?The hitchhikers are actually microbes --- tiny living things so small that you need a microscope to see them.

- d***u (870)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent service thank you
- b***b (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseJust started reading but did not realize soft back books have smaller print. Saw the film and look forward in reading the book. Recommend buyer
- n***9 (27)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived in perfect condition with no writing in it and shipping was fast. Lots of recipes however, it's not something I would have bought in a brick and mortar store if I could have seen it. The recipes have ingredients that aren't available in my area so will have to track them down online to get. It's definitely not one of his better books. Really disappointed the recipes are from different parts of the world. Was hoping to have more American recipes in it other than a few.
