Inside Your Insides: A Guide to the Microbes That Call You Home

This book is about all of the different bacteria and microbes in our body and how we depend on each other. It also talks about how some microbes and germs are good and some are bad. The book describes how our world started with fungus and also how scientists are experimenting with spit, breath, poop, feet, hair, eyebrows, and belly buttons to estimate how many germs we have. Most people probably don’t realize that human beings could not live without bacteria, fungi, protits, microbes, cells, and cyanobacteria.

I personally thought this was a really interesting book. It made me start thinking, “So how many germs did I just pick up now?” with each touch. I love this book for learning about germs. The pictures are awesome, and the way they write it makes it easy to understand some complex stuff. I think this is a great book for kids seven and up, and it would also be good for a school science project. This book has some hard words in it, so you would have to be a pretty good reader to understand it all.
