Sweet, endearing Pox is sent to school to learn to be a proper germ. When he’s assigned to make a little girl sick, he rebels and joins the girl’s immune system instead. This delightful, silly story entertains on every level, combining clever wordplay with imaginative, humorous illustrations and a surprising amount of information about staying healthy and fighting germs.
