I thought this book was interesting because it gives information about topics like animal diseases like bird flu and mad cow disease. It also provides information from an interview with Dr. Scott Dowell who’s an epidemiologist, he answers questions about diseases and what it’s like working in disease control.

For me, this book is a 4/5 only because it’s short, but it’s one of those books that you never loose you attention to.

Excellent children's book about animal diseases and pandemics. Very easy to understand and follow. BSE section was extremely well done.

Read for research.

I bet it's assuming for people to follow all the things I've read for research. First it was India and human rights, now it's BSE.
