Facteria The Little Book of Bacteria contains the sort of facts kids love - like a person's gut is nine metres long, the length of a normal sized bus! - and instructions for making your own compost.
This booklet is aimed as a child-friendly supplement to Key Stage 2 learning and is colourful, lively and well presented. Plus there are links to websites for further information, quizzes and games.
Facteria The Little Book of Bacteria makes the distinction between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" and covers food, medicines, the environment and bacteria in the gut with "Did you know?" fact boxes.
Produced by the "friendly bacteria" experts at Yakult, this independently-authored booklet is available free of charge, both to individual children and to schools as a classroom resource.
