Science Comics: Plagues: The Microscopic Battlefield

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.

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 can’t read it independently yet, but with my help, she’s able to enjoy it and remembered a lot of advanced words from it. Before this book, I didn’t 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.

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.

Well written, full of facts and interesting story
