Opis

This is a story of fantasy and hard cold facts beginning with a pizza party given by the Big Fat Cat prima donna of the microbe family. The party was given in honor of Albus, the Colonel's offspring. Guests were the Streptococci, Pnemococci, Gonococci, Meningococci, Diphtheria, E. Coli, Typhoid, Dysentery, Tetanus and Botulinum. TB used a cellphone to call in sick, because a human he had infected with TB returned the favor as a carrier and infected TB with Tuberculosis. Music suddenly split the air with Beethoven's 3rd Sonato in Asia Minor. The Dayton Place Hot Tomato Philharmonic Orchestra revved it up while the microbes did the 'Hokey Pokey' and the intricate 'Two Step'. The young bacteria went to school to learn about epidemics. The book ends with two fine collections of microscopes and bacteria.
