Praise for Germs (Big science for little minds)

“A lively way for children to come to terms with germs… Offers nuggets of unforgettable wisdom, while laying down some vital scientific groundwork… A 10-minute masterclass in microbiology, aimed at readers as young as four… [reducing] the most complex subjects to easy peasy ideas.”
--The Telegraph
