This is the GI disease installment in the Annie Biotica infectious disease books. Highly interesting and engaging for kids and adults. Anyone who cooks and/or eats food should read this book. You'll learn why raw chicken juice is dangerous and what happens when you leave your food out for a few days.

A non-fiction book explaining the dangers of not being careful with the food we eat. What happens when food is undercooked, not stored in the refrigerator, or comes in contact with unwashed cutting boards and knives? What makes us sick, how are the illnesses diagnosed, what are the treatments, and how do we avoid these illnesses in the first place? Questions at the back for reinforced learning or for classroom discussions.

About grades 3 or even 4 and up for independent reading mostly because of scientific terms. Earlier for read-aloud if reader is prepared to explain technical words (What is a culture? What is an agar plate? What is ...?) Mixed traditional format with many colorful graphic novel-style illustrations. Lively and interesting.
