Do Not Lick This Book

by Idan Ben-Barak and Julian Frost

Kids' Book of the Week , June 4, 2018

Why not? Because it's covered in germs, but then again, as it charmingly (or disturbingly, depending on your outlook) explains, so is everything else! Ingeniously combining the content of Elise Gravel's Disgusting Critters series and the imaginative interactivity of Hervé Tullet's Press Here (you are encouraged to transfer a microbe named Min from the book to your teeth!), Do Not Lick This Book combines cute cartoons with microscopic photos to give a fun and convincing tour of the invisible world of microbes. (Ages 2 to 5)
