Germs Make Me Sick! (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science)

This book presents the complex information related to bacteria and viruses and how this effects our immune systems and the rest of our bodies in simple, but effective language. The information is accurate and well written while still being accessible to readers at the lower levels. Furthermore, the illustrations are nice and add to the information being presented. This book is a really great way to explain the immune system and germs to younger students. ( )

This is an awesome book that teaches children about germs. It defines germs and show what kind of germs there are. It also tell you where and how you can pick these germs up. The illustartions in this book are very cute and funny. I feel that children would really love this book. They would learn about germs and also be entertained at the same time. ( )

Summary:
This book is about how germs get into the body and are fought by our immune systems. It tells about several different types of bacteria, including how they make us sick.

Personal Reactions:
This would be great for children, but as an adult I did not find it to be a good book. It’s really good about explaining about the germs. The illustrations are beautiful and go hand in hand with the information.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1.This would be great in a unit over germs. I would have the students write about a time they were sick and have them write a story of how the germs that made them ill got into their bodies.
2.This book would be a great way to teach younger children how to wash their hands. I would have the students tell why it is important to have clean hands.

Summary:
Germs make me sick is about what germs are and how we get them. The book talks about how to keep the germs from getting you sick.

Personal Reaction:
This book was okay. It is not a book that I would want to read again. It does give good information about germs so that kids can understand it.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. I would use this book in a unit about your health. I would read the book and then make the students write down a few ways to keep them from getting sick.
2.I would use this book in a unit about germs. I would have the students tell me what germs how, how to keep them away, and what germs can do to our body. ( )

This book is all about how germs travel, how they are everywhere, and what they do to your body. By using illustrations and good definitions and descriptions of the different types of bacteria and germs readers are able to gain knowledge about germs.

I liked this book and found it interesting which is weird because I’m not someone who is really interested in germs.

I would use this book and have the students practice washing their hands thoroughly. We would talk about good time limits for washing hands. Also I would have the students right a short paragraph about one bacteria they learned about and what causes it.
