The thought that there are organisms on or in our food might make some people a bit queasy, but without certain organisms, we wouldn’t have some of our favorite foods such as bread, yogurt, and cheese. Readers are introduced to many kinds of microscopic organisms, helpful and harmful, in this eye-opening volume. Since they can’t see many of these life-forms with their own eyes, magnified images reveal the creatures in highly detailed photographs. Data and fun fact boxes further enhance the appealing design, while entertaining and informative text touches on many important science concepts.
