Publisher's Synopsis

This book will blow your child's mind!

Big Science explained simply, from the author of Atoms, Planets and Brains.

Why do grown-ups always tell you to wash your hands?
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!

Big Science for Little Minds is a scientific picturebook series for young readers that explains some of the big questions of life in an accessible way. Germs is the third title in this collection that began with Atoms and Planets and is perfect for parents looking for a fun and educational book to help teach young children about hygiene. It is especially useful following the pandemic, as it dives into the whats, whys and hows of germs. What even are germs, what different kinds are there, and what might they look like? Why are germs dangerous, and why should we protect ourselves from them? How do they spread, and how do we stop them from affecting us?

About the Publisher

Pushkin Children's Books

Just as we all are, children are fascinated by stories. From the earliest age, we love to hear about monsters and heroes, romance and death, disaster and rescue, from every place and time. In 2013, we created Pushkin Children's Books to share these tales from different languages and cultures with younger readers, and to open the door to the wide, colourful worlds these stories offer. From picture books and adventure stories to fairy tales and classics, and from fifty-year-old bestsellers to current huge successes abroad, the books on the Pushkin Children's list reflect the very best stories from around the world, for our most discerning readers of all: children.
