Learn about bacteria, viruses, germs, and other microbes that are everywhere, but so small we can’t see them, in this children’s science book by bestselling author and science comedian Steve Mould.
What do glowing squids, fungi that grow, and the tiny creatures in the soil beneath your toes have in common? Discover all about bacteria, viruses, germs, and other microbes in this dynamic and engaging book. Perfectly walking the line between “ew, gross!” and “oh, wow!”, Bacteria explores why we need bacteria and introduces readers to their microbial buddies: viruses, fungi, algae, archaea, and protozoa.
Bacteria is a fun and informative introduction to STEAM that brings kids closer to the big world of small science. With gorgeous photography, quirky character illustrations, and lots of fun facts, this book uses real-life examples of microbiology in action to show how microbes keep our bodies and our world running.
