Discover the science behind pandemics and how to stay safe in this illustrated nonfiction picture book. While everyone occasionally gets sick, sometimes many people fall ill simultaneously, leading to a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted children's lives globally, causing confusion and fear due to mixed messages from authorities. This book answers essential questions such as: What is a pandemic? How do they spread? Have similar events occurred before? What is a coronavirus? What measures can we take to stay healthy? Although pandemics are rare, history has seen several, including the bubonic plague and smallpox, providing valuable lessons about vaccines. This Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out presents facts about both past and current pandemics, tracing the origins of the term "quarantine" and significant milestones like the first smallpox vaccine. Included are a handwashing diagram, a glossary, and a timeline of historical pandemics and their effects. Designed for early elementary readers, this book is ideal for home and classroom settings. The Let's-Read-and-Find-Out series features over 100 titles that engage young readers with appealing topics, hands-on activities, and illustrations, all while meeting national science education standards.
