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.
