Warning! This book may turn you into a germophobe!

However, the humour and interesting details will probably save the day, as well as the great device of 'picking up' Min (the germ) from a particular spot as you take her throughout the book, before leaving her carefully and definitely behind again in a clearly defined 'spot'.

Great close up photos of paper, teeth, skin and fabric combined with cute cartoon-style germs. A sense of adventure and scientific curiosity infuse the simple story "look really, really closely..." and "let's explore".
