I know this doesn't sound the most exciting subject but it truly is
superb and it takes a really difficult concept and explains it
perfectly and in a way that the children really engaged with... It
does a truly excellent job of mixing quite complex scientific
concepts and facts into a fun and engaging read. The use of
microscope photography is a stroke of genius as it really makes the
children (and me!) go 'wow' when they realise what they are looking
at... this books introduces and explains [microbes] in a really fun
and engaging way. http://letthembesmall.com/not-lick-book/
The photography is amazing; the interactive elements will really
draw children in to the book, and they will marvel at what they
see.
