Germs
Book Review
It made me laugh so hard. Especially the green snot!
This is a very funny book. I was afraid it would be boring but it really wasn’t.
Firstly, the pictures are really colourful and gross. It made me laugh so hard. Especially the green snot!
My favourite bit was when the princess was sick and the knight went to the old toilet in the olden times before they knew about germs. I learnt a lot about germs. I always wash my hands but now I know why!
Not all germs are bad, some germs you can make into antibiotics, which help people.
The illustrations were creative because the author made the germs come alive in the pictures.
It was really funny and I learnt a lot. I really enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it for others to read.

How are antibodies like superheroes?
Should you eat that old sausage you found in a coat pocket from last winter?
Prepare to go on a journey through the mindboggling, yucky world of germs!
