The Bacteria Book: The Big World of Really Tiny Microbes (The Science Book Series)

This book was ordered to compliment a STEM project for 2nd graders studying bacteria and viruses. This 8 1/2" x 11" hardcover book is ideal for classroom circle reading. The graphics are bold with high definition illustrations that bring the subject matter "to life" in an easy to digest manner. The book sections carry the learning from a macro perspective down to a micro view. Imagine students having a single grain of rice and learning that something so small represents what billions of bacteria would look like. The 72-page book offers extensive learning sections including a glossary with pronunciation key and detail index. Highly recommend this publication for classroom use.

A peak into the most mysterious and yet most consequential world.It seems great for any age as long as they have the interest. This is my 3 year old's new favorite book (he's become very interested in germs in the covid-19 era). As I read it to him, and he proclaims, "This is a great book!"It's not simplistic either. I imagine it's written for much older kids, maybe middle school age.My parents and I learned a lot from this book, and we're science minded though physics is our normal focus.There are stunning real images of microbes, great brief explanations, full of applications which touch our daily lives, and a few cartoon drawings of microbes to bring humor and character to the viruses. It's a perfect resource for a budding microbiologist!

We purchased this book for a student in our after-school program. Having conducted a science experiment on a similar subject, we thought the book would be perfect for her.

Love the visuals, short text, and all the details!! My students enjoy picking this book up over and over again.

Granddaughter became interested in microbes that cause diseases. My daughter, a teacher, recommended this book as a birthday gift ! It was a big hit !

Awesome book. Lots of colors and very visually stimulating. It a good book to introduce cells, bacteria, & virus and how it effects the body. It does not go into depth at all. I must stress that. It’s better to use this book as a fun supplement. The only reason it didn’t get a 5 star was because I wish that the book had more pages & material. But worry the buy for sure! I highly recommend.

My boys loved that book

I read this book aloud 3 times on Christmas Day to two 5 year olds. I was very surprised that this book held their attention on a day when there were many other exciting distractions. The next day the kids explained their new knowledge to others and asked more questions; we kept going back to the book all week. In the last 4 months we have expanded their knowledge base by exploring other related topics (Jenner, Pasteur, etc). This book is a good way to launch interest in microbiology.

Packed full of interesting facts, my son liked the part about zombie ants.

My young child has a fascination with bacteria, so this was ideal. It's written in a really accessible way with lots of clear and fun illustrations. I've enjoyed reading it too, and must confess I've learned a lot.

A book with lots of information for curious little minds. The explanations are elaborate and my 5-year old needs an explanation. But it opens up room for lot of discussion. You may have to skip a few portions, but the book is apt for a 7 year old. There’s information about helpful bacteria and how it is used.With the pandemic, it becomes easy to explain to the little one why the virus is so infectious.

A mi hijo de 6 años le ha gustado y ayudado a entender mas sobre la materia

As described, great quality product. Would recommend.
