When a super sickness lands on the land, when a parasite becomes more than a pest, when an infection ignites an epidemic, what’s a body to do? Your body is an animal body, so why not ask the animals? Follow the scientists, around the world and into their labs, who are studying animals and the germs that attack them. From fungus-ridden frogs with fevers to bacteria-resistant buzzards and everything in-between, animals have A LOT to teach us about infections. But-reader beware!!-the story of germs is filled with twists and turns. In this fascinating, highly visual nonfiction book packed with colorful, comic-style art, you’ll discover not only the cool ways that animal bodies (and our bodies) fight back against pesky pathogens, but also the amazing and surprising ways we can learn to work together with germs. Sick! The Twists and Turns Behind Animal Germs is written by Heather L. Montgomery with graphic novel-style art from Lindsey Leigh.
Heather L. Montgomery writes books for kids who are wild about animals. Her subject matter ranges from snakes to snail tongues – the weirder, the wackier the better. With a B.S. in biology and an M.S. in environmental education, Heather’s specialty is using yuck-appeal to engage young minds. When she’s not writing or working with kids, you can’t find her knee-deep in a creek, canoeing a canyon, or up in a tree.
