ALA Booklist
This revised version of an outstanding Let's-Read-and-Find Out Science title is larger in size than the original book published 10 years ago. There are very few changes in Berger's text, which deals directly with how bacteria and viruses spread infection in daily life and how the body fights back. Hafner's lively color cartoon illustrations are bigger and clearer than in the first version, and some characters and settings are different, but there's the same focus on kids in common situations at home, at school, and in the neighborhood. The new version retains the lively combination of fact and narrative that has made this a great title for easy reading and for sharing aloud. (Reviewed Oct. 1, 1995)

Accurate facts, augmented by humorous asides and engaging watercolor and ink drawings, all add up to a memorable introduction to the germs we live with and the bacteria and viruses that make us sick. This revised edition is a commendable book for both home and classroom.
School Library Journal
K-Gr 3--This easy-to-read revision of a 1985 title effectively describes the differences between bacteria and viruses and gives other related germy facts. The science is related in simple language and the author uses specific examples that youngsters will readily understand. He explains how germs sometimes "slip in" the body despite defense mechanisms such as skin, nose, and throat. "Your friend has a cold. She sneezes. Germs fly out. You breathe the air. Some of her germs may get into your lungs." Hafner's pen-and-ink and watercolor artwork is attractive and informative, reinforcing the concepts introduced in the text. An interesting addition for libraries not having the previous edition.--Lisa Marie Gangemi, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY
