Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics: Including the Worldwide COVID- 19 Pandemic will reach ages 9 and older with a survey of germs and diseases that have changed the world. It is particularly recommended reading for its wide-ranging, inclusive approach that middle-schoolers will find absorbing and informational. Carole Marsh blends science and history in a survey that reviews pandemics of the past, contrasting their environments, progression, and social and medical approaches to tackling their spread. Kids receive definitions of diseases, information about germs and their transmission, and chapters that contrast plagues of the past with Covid-19's recent challenges. In contrast with other approaches for this age group, Carole Marsh adds observations and notes designed to personalize and bring to life the social issues underlying pandemics and epidemics: Long ago, people spent a lot of time arguing about what, or who, caused a disease. Blaming others did not help anything. Leaders have been weak and ineffective in past plagues, and today we see politics often seeming to be more important that scientific facts. That does not help either. As I did my research, I was very dismayed to see that some people in the past (even in America during the Spanish Flu epidemic) actually lied about the disease, the facts, the numbers of infected and dead. So, it is sad for me to have to say that adults do not always act very responsibly during a time when speed, smarts, wisdom, good decisions and more are VERY IMPORTANT in any disease outbreak. It is life or death, after all. From therapies and medical approaches to notes about pets, infected people, transmission, and safety, Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics embraces a range of issues and concerns, from social environments to heroes, helpers, and career opportunities for jobs that battle disease. Its broader scope than most, chatty tone, and fact-filled pages make Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics a multifaceted read that goes above and beyond more singular productions for this age group, making for a top recommendation for elementary and middle school collections alike.-D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review Loved it! Outbreaks, Epidemics, and Pandemics: Including the Worldwide COVID -19 Pandemic by Carole Marsh is a short book for kids 9 years and older. I'm sure an eager audience of kids awaits it because they are the curious onlookers these days to COVID-19 caused disturbances and disruptions happening worldwide, and they are keen to know more about it....

Carole Marsh tells the fascinating history of these deadly illnesses and plenty more in Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics. The text is rich in historically accurate facts, timelines and vocabulary about some of the major diseases that have punctuated mankind's reign on earth as well as the anatomy of disease in general. Carole's signature storytelling style will have middle-schoolers taking this book to bed with them to read ahead. I had a career teaching middle school science and have always been fascinated by the microscopic world. I would have been thrilled to use Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics in my curriculum. This book is a fantastic educational resource that will no doubt inspire many future medical professionals, epidemiologists and microbiologists as they navigate their career paths. -Caroline Carpenter, retired science teacher I wish I could go back to middle school. We never all-encompassing lessons that are integrated like Carole Marsh's Curriculum Lab. Our lessons were flat, boring, and rote. These are exciting, interesting and leave me wanting to know more about outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. Hats off to a super educator! -Nancy Waterhouse, New York/New Jersey Outbreaks, Epidemics, & Pandemics is full of facts and history that are not only honest and informative but also interesting and engaging. Pandemics and germs are an exciting subject, and this curriculum shows that! It teaches the history of germs and past outbreaks through stories and memorable facts that students will want to share and continue learning about. -Christina Yother Williams, designer The perfect blend of fact and fun to make learning about disease epidemics captivating for middle-schoolers. It's just the right amount of wit, information, and grossness to keep anyone coming back for more (wearing a face mask, of course!). -C.J. Ellison, author
