Review Detail

Thank you to Bethany Barton and Viking/Penguin Random House for a copy of I'm Trying to Love Germs.
"I like to think of germs like glitter" - my favorite line in the whole book. It's such a perfect picture of germs - one sneeze and germs cover you like a jar of glitter would.
This book is a hard cover, perfect for kids 4-8 years of age. It's full of colorful examples of germs along with pronounciations. I loved how creative the author was - in one image, the germs are depicted as famous movie/rock stars.
I think this is a great science book to share with younger children to teach them that not all germs are bad and to know how to handle germs in a safe manner, and most importantly - why.
I am eager to share this with a friend who is a teacher. I know she will love this for her son and her classroom.
