Get them learning science early, with playful picture books like
this romp through the world of micro-organisms. Explore how we
catch a cold, what bacteria go into yoghurt and all kinds of other
fascinating facts, simply and entertainingly explained.
*Time Out*
...a brilliant book on science. Introducing the complicated and
seemingly incomprehensible world of microbes in a remarkably simple
and elegant way, the genius of this book is that through
explorations of scale, purpose and presenting the good, the bad and
the ugly, children as young as four are able to understand the
complexities of these powerful and tiny creatures. With beautiful
illustrations and gripping text, this was very much an "again"
book.
*Culture Baby*
A brilliant work of non-fiction
