The gross science of germs all around you / Carol Hand.
Kids love gross things, and germs are among the grossest. This engaging volume capitalizes on the grossness factor, while covering the science behind germs, what they are, where they are found, and how they cause diseases. It gives kids the information they need to stay clean and healthy without fearing germs. Readers will learn that most bacteria do not cause diseases, but provide us with food and medicines, and help maintain soil and other ecosystems. This book also cautions against overkill of germs, which can lead to antibiotic resistance and super-bacteria.
