A favorite to read to my kids and now to their kids. by Chip B. (Worldwide)  5 Stars
June 03, 2009
I got such a kick out of the reviewer who said he thinks disease is cause by sin! THAT guy should write a book.
IMO, 'Germs Make Me Sick' tells kids what they need to know. It's not a text book on virology/bacteriology, ... well, ... maybe a FIRST text. The grown-ups still have a role to play by telling kids about hand washing & chicken soup. But this is a fun way to help them remember what they need to know and be just a little safer than they'd be without that knowledge.

A terrible case of indoctrination of children by Northern Man (The Frosty North)  3 Stars
July 30, 2008
From all this fuss about "germ theory" is it just that: a theory. Pasteruians want us to believe that disease is caused by invisible tiny animals, well that's a religion if I ever hear of one. And you're welcome to believe that if you want.
I want my children to believe the biblical account of disease: it is caused by sin. Whenever my kids get sick I just tell them that they should be ashamed of themselves and their filthy, sinful thoughts. If they were really sincere in their prayers they wouldn't need their supposed "medicine".
I can't believe that such materialist science indoctrination texts are readily available in schools. What's next? handing out guns at the door?

fine, but not enough detail by E. Winner (Seattle, WA USA) 3 Stars
November 05, 2007
i got this book for my then-3yo daughter, who asked a ton about how germs work and how our bodies fight them. it was "kinda" enough for her, but then we got cell wars, and that is really a fantastic book. where this book can be hand-wavy, that one is much more detailed and really left her feeling like she understood what was happening in her body. she's 4 now and still rattles off information from cell wars, but we haven't read this book but once or twice since we got the other.

One of the best! by J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA) 5 Stars
October 02, 2007
Germs Make Me Sick by Melvin Berger is one of the best books I've seen to educate primary grade children about viruses and bacteria and how they can make you sick -- and how you can make yourself well again. Sometimes, your Doctor will have to send a swab or a drop of your blood to a lab to see just the right way to make you well if your illness is caused by a bacteria or protect you from some diseases caused by a virus.
I am amazed at how well this scientific information is presented for young readers, and the follow-up with a section on The Rules for Good Health make this a must buy for parents.

Love the cartoons, and I learned something too by Scott (Texas)  4 Stars
March 25, 2007
Every illustration in this book is a cartoon, and in many of the illustrations a cat, dog, lion, or some other animal will make some kind of random comment. This was pretty funny, but not quite as funny as the cartoons in another Lets-Read-and-Find-Out Science book called Digging Up Dinosaurs.
According to this book, the sticky saliva in your mouth catches germs and prevents them from going inside your body to cause further damage. I didn't know that. Hope all the information is correct.
