(3) K-3 Illustrated by James Ransome. Sam (Salmonella) narrates a breezy historical tour of bacteria, yeast, mold, and other microbes and their sometimes antagonistic, sometimes beneficial relationship with humans. Microscopic life is portrayed as anthropomorphized critters alongside scientists, doctors, and patients in the watercolor, pencil, and mixed-media illustrations. James Ransome includes occasional backgrounds of impressionistic yet scientifically accurate bacterial colonies. Font size and color varies to highlight important scientific terms. Glos.
