Just Incredible
This is just an incredible book. I got it for my 6 year old son. He loved it and has reread it a few times now.I too found it very informative and I must say I learned a lot. But what I liked the best is the way the information is presented. It doesn’t read like a non-fiction; it is like a true comic book with some villains :0). They have amusing personalities and my son really liked it (as did I). I think there is a lot for kids to learned from this book; different types of diseases, not just viruses and bacteria; there is lots of history to learn (in a really intriguing way) and also about future potentials. Since we are in the middle of a pandemic, my son really got a lot out of it. It has a lot of clever humor.In general I like these books. Some are better than others. But this one really stands out!!! We have about 8 and this one is by far the best. I don’t know why the price is lower (it is under $8 now), when all others are over $10. It is worth it.

Educational and fun to read
My 8 and 5-year-old boys love graphic novels, so someone recommended this series to me. There are many subjects to choose from, but I thought this one would provide some helpful background info on different types of infections to aid in their understanding of the pandemic. My 8 year old read it all in one sitting and said that he loved it and wanted the entire Science Comics collection. They do a great job of explaining facts in age-appropriate ways while making it interesting enough to capture kids’ attention through the use of engaging storytelling and imagery. I love that I can help my kids explore different scientific subjects in a way that doesn’t feel like busy work to them.

Fun and solid book!
7 yr old absolutely loves it! He finished the book on his own in the first two days then asked me to read it for him again and again, because we could look up stuff together and have discussions. It was hilarious but also with lots of solid background information and scientific facts. The 4 yr old needs some help to get things from the book but started scribbling neutrophils right away. Just started a second book from the series on rocks and minerals and itâs a hit too! Have a bad feeling that might have to buy the whole series sooner or later (ouch!)

Science Comics are the Best Things Ever
Bought a couple of these science comics on the recommendation of a science teacher friend and I cannot believe how many hours our kids have spent reading them. The Plagues one has been of particular interest (and my 6 year old now knows an alarming number of facts about deadly diseases!) – SUCH a great series. Highly recommend for kids as young as early elementary school. It’s good science, made SO accessible by the excellent illustrations and graphic novel format.

Educational comic
Both my 9 year old and 12 year old enjoy the book. Seems like there are several authors depending on the books, from the same series. 12 year old recommends Falynn Koch, the author that wrote this particular book.

Fascinating for kids
Some books in this series are awesome and some are less intriguing but this one is a winner with my seven year old science fan. For reference he also loved the coral reefs (snooze fest if we have to read to him lol), sharks and dinosaurs. Robots and drones was not a winner for us.

A perfect marriage between graphic novels and Science content
Wow, to think that someone put together two things that so many children love: Science and graphic novels, is a dream for this teacher! This book in particular has been beneficial in explaining how germs/viruses, etc. get passed, as well as what our bodies do to fight it off.If you have children or if you’re a teacher (I’d say 2nd grade and up), these books are a must have for your home or classroom library! I purchased this particular title for my son, but after reading it myself, I will definitely look to purchase the entire collection for my classroom library!

Itâs a little dense but a fun read
My 5 year old likes it and now he washes his hands more frequently. Itâs hard to explain or translate all that jargon, but itâs a good introduction to the world of microbiology.

Good way to introduce science concepts to kids

I borrowed it from library and my 5yr old totally loves it. So I decided to buy one. Great book with lots of information written in a fun way that kids would love to read. My kid canât read it independently yet, but with my help, sheâs able to enjoy it and remembered a lot of advanced words from it. Before this book, I didnât know germs can be introduced in such a fun way.

Amazing. Obviously very applicable at the moment (covid 19), but covers a massive range of topics to do with illnesses and disease. Very interesting story that helped hold my 8 year olds attention the whole time, whilst simultaneously being extremely educational. Explaining the roles of different white blood cells, how vaccination works etc etc. The whole series is brilliant.The price seems high, but honestly, given how educational, and how many times he’s already read this one (probably upto 6+ already within a week or two), it’s well worth it.
