(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bryn Barnard. A light tone, diagrams, and humorous cartoon illustrations explain the basics: the differences between viruses and bacteria, how they affect the human body, how vaccinations and antibiotics work, etc. Twelve "Try This" pages provide hands-on answers to common questions such as "How do germs pass from person to person?" Page-top borders reveal how some organisms look under a microscope.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robbin Cuddy. Eleven previously published tales about Pooh and his pals make up this entertaining collection, which features bright cartoon illustrations and large typeface. Although this hefty book has little literary merit, it's better written than many of Disney's other efforts, and the familiar characters and their small-scale adventures--celebrating a birthday, playing school, moving Tigger to a new home, etc.--are appealing.
