Do Not Lick this Book by Julian Frost, Idan Ben-Barak

3.0

Childrens nonfiction book. This is a book that has a microbe as the main character, and she travels from surface to surface and picks up some friends. It is an interactive book, breaking the wall between reader and text, encouraging the reader to touch the book, their teeth, their shirt, and their belly button. I don't consider myself much of a germaphobe, but this book made me queasy. I immediately rubbed my hands in hand sanitizer. That being said, I do think it could be used to introduce the idea of germs traveling from surface to surface, or even the idea that there is a whole other world too small for humans to see without special tools.
