Nice example for how students can write their own graphic novel biography.

It is about Louise Pasteur and how to pasteurize things. I learned that in the olden days no one knew that bacteria was bad for you. So until Loise learned that bacteria was bad.

A nice comic on the development of the pasteurization process. Would be nice to have a few sequels on the other inventions of Louis Pasteur.

[Abi Gross]

We enjoyed this with our schooling as an introduction to the science of why things are pasteurized. Though it’s short and told in graphic novel format, it has a lot of info and is interesting.

1. Even though this is a fairly short book, I learned several things.
2. I even went to the Internet for further reading.
3. The illustrations were nicely done.
4. These are perfect for children wanting to learn more about science and history.
5. I appreciated the glossary, Internet sites, and bibliography in the back.

Formatted like a graphic novel, this book tells the story of Louis Pasteur's invention of the pasteurization process and the effects of this invention on the spread of disease through food.
