{"product_id":"9781936140473","title":"Micro Mania","description":"Get ready to be grossed out!\u003cp\u003eTry not to panic, but a million creatures are crawling all over your skin--wriggling on your legs, your neck, your scalp...everywhere! And that's only on the outside of our bodies. Trillions more of these itty-bitty things are thriving INSIDE!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's a big treat for every kid who loves the squirmy, icky, buggy, and the generally gross. Sensationally designed, with eye-opening, jaw-dropping photography, MICRO MANIA takes a close-up look at a world that's mostly invisible to us. It's an amazing universe that comes into astonishingly large-scale focus on these spectacular pages--which showcase everything from luminescent, furry-green bacteria and flowerlike virus cells to maggots, mold, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is more than just a collection of mind-blowing images; it's solid science that encourages children's natural curiosity. They'll find out about the great scientists who discovered the existence of microbes; see how bacteria travel and reproduce; peek at some of the insects that make themselves at home in our kitchens, bathrooms, and bodies; and learn why some germs are good and others make us ill--and what we can do to stay healthy. By the time they've finished taking this voyage through nature's miniature universe, kids will fully understand why even the tiniest of creatures--from foot fungus and salmonella to blood-sucking bugs and organisms squiggling in a pond near you--can have a really big impact on our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050047324400,"sku":"9781936140473","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936140473_p0.jpg?v=1763657554","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936140473","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
