Up Your Nose

Germs, microscopic organisms, are explored in this humorous and informative introduction by acclaimed author and artist Seth Fishman and illustrator Isabel Greenberg. The book delves into the five main types of germs—bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths—and the human immune system that protects us from them. Fishman’s humor and wonder at the human body and world make the complex topic accessible to young readers ages 4 to 8. Bright, comic-style illustrations bring life to the microscopic landscape, making it perfect for curious children and classroom learning.
