KINGFISHER • JULY 2015 JUVENILE NONFICTION / SCIENCE & NATURE / BIOLOGY

CREATED & ILLUSTRATED BY SIMON BASHER, WRITTEN BY DAN GREEN Basher Science: Microbiology

This fascinating Basher Science book brings to life the nearinvisible particles that make up 90 percent of the human body.

This latest book from the Basher Science series investigates the unseen world of microbes. Basher’s distinctive style presents key microbes as characters with their own voice and personality. Microbiology investigates the "teensy tykes" such as algae and bacteria that are all around us in the living world, as well as a range of socalled "minibeasts", but these are not the usual creepycrawlies that you might think of. These nearinvisible creatures range from the zooplankton "good guys" to the unpleasant tapeworm and fluke. Yuk! Microbiology explains the different building blocks of the human body, as well as the nasty bugs that can make us so ill, whether it’s catching a common cold or something much more deadly such as tuberculosis, the second biggest killer in the modern world.

Simon Basher is the creator and illustrator of more than 20

internationally bestselling books for children including the

critically acclaimed Basher Science series. Based in London,

Basher specializes in "graphic surrealism" and his characters

fill the gap between edgy manga and the cuteness of Hello

Kitty!

Dan Green is the voice of Basher, the author of numerous

Basher titles. He's a journalist and science writer with a

brilliant knack for communicating complicated information

in a childfriendly way.
