Reviews for The Good Germ Hotel: Meet Your Body's Marvellous Microbes

All the illustrations are comical and huge fun to peruse, helping to make the entire topic accessible to primary school age readers. Whoever would have thought that talking with a bacterium could be so enlightening. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * The Good Germ Hotel set up a great discussion in our house about Covid, vaccinations and germs. It's a great length to be used as a read aloud for younger children or an independent read for KS2. Great to use as we go back to school. * Mister Bod * The germ of an idea turns into a brilliant book for kids as a top team of book boffins reveal through this entertaining and accessible illustrated guide that in a world of Covid-19, in which harmful germs and bacteria are all around us, not all germs are bad for us. -- Pam Norfolk * Lancarshire Evening Post * Another incredible non-fiction book from What on Earth Books. This is essential reading for British Science Week ... Such clear explanations teamed with glorious illustrations. * Just Imagine * Full of surprising details about gut health and immunity, with lots of quirky pictures to enjoy. * BookTrust *
