"It's a germ's world. We're just living in it! Elise Gravel introduces us to the heroes and villains of the microscopic world, stopping to marvel at their unique names and wondrous shapes" --Back cover.

"Microbes are everywhere: outside, indoors, on your body, in your body. In fact, only about half of our bodies' cells are human cells--the rest are microbes. Whether helping people digest their food or using mind-control techniques to lure mice into the path of hungry cats (no, really), microbes form an unseen jungle all around us. Through . . . facts, hilarious and sometimes disgusting illustrations, and interviews with experts in their fields, aspiring young scientists (or kids who just want to be grossed out) will discover a hidden world in which your health depends on a myriad of microbes, houseflies get zombified by fungi, and termites are saving the planet one fart at a time"--Provided by publisher.

In gloriously gross detail, you'll meet dangerous microscopic invaders like protozoa, fungi, viruses, and foreign bacteria - then see how our bodies work to fight back and defend us against future infections. We get to know the critters behind history's worst diseases. We delve into the biology and mechanisms of infections, diseases, and immunity, and also the incredible effect that technology and medical science have had on humanity's ability to contain and treat disease.

Describes all the gross stuff the human body produces every day and the microbes that live on a body.

Text and illustrations present a humorous introduction to germs and bacteria.
