Based on characters created by H. A. Rey and the Curious George television series, in this science storybook, Curious George learns about germs. George does not feel well and the man with the yellow hat says he is fighting a bad germ and puts him to bed. Similar to Miss Frizzle’s Magic School Bus, as George drifts off to sleep, he dreams he is germ-size and inside his own body. George learns about both good and bad germs, how germs are spread , how they can affect people, as well as how to get rid of and avoid bad germs. Side panels give additional nonfiction information. An experiment soup recipe, and suggestions for healthy habits are found in the back with a glossary. What a great way to introduce germs to young children.
