Germs Make Me Sick STORY

This Reading Rainbow episode features Germs Make Me Sick! by Melvin Berger, a book that explains what germs are, how bacteria and viruses affect the human body, and how the body fights against them. We share our world with millions of microorganisms, and although most of them are harmless, some make people sick. LeVar visits a laboratory. After the story, LeVar explains that scientists study germs in labs to prevent illnesses.
