Why read it?
1 author picked The Bacteria Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Bacteria Book is an in-depth look into one of the heaviest hitters in the microbial world: bacteria.
Even though it’s a bacteria book (quite literally) other microbes get honorable mentions along the way (viruses, fungi, archaea, etc.) helping to round out the information. The book has lots of really interesting photographs and images from microscopes; bacteria on teeth are revealed in all their sticky glory through the magic of the electron microscope.
My son was drawn to the real-world images of molding fruit and zombie ants, and we both appreciated the fact-filled “Timeline of Microbiology” towards the end.
From Bethany's list on children’s books about germs.
