Over the years, Nobel laureate
Arthur Kornberg regaled his children and grandchildren with rhyming tales
of the tiny beasties in the germ parade. Arthur's poems and stories are now available for all in this beautifully
rendered children's picture book. Germ Stories will bring the microscopic
world to life for the very youngest readers and grown ups alike with its richly
imaginative narrations and its vividly rendered art and color photos.
