Summary: Fun with Fungus!
Comment: I keep telling people that aspergillus fumigatus, sporotrichosis, cryptococcosis neoformans were fun things- and Arthur Dorros and David Catrow have made it come to life. The illustrations are goey and as dimorphic as their real life branching hyphal counterparts! What fun for children to learn a bit about the ubiquitous world of mycology-- and end up in the Museum of Fungus and Industry to boot. As the administrator of a university-based of the Mycology Study "Unit" there are aspects to the "discovery" and "experiment" process that are truer than life, especially some of the zany characters and ultimate culminating dog and pony show! Thank you! Thank you! I can finally explain to my kids what I do every day! Fungus Fighters Unite! And what ever you do.....don't inhale!

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This is a delightful book which you will definitely enjoyreading to your child. My second grader read this book to me and heloved it and was laughing and commenting on the pictures throughoutthe book!

The story is cute and nonsensical about fungus taking over and eating the school! The author, David Catrow did a wonderful job as his illustrations are most colorful, exagerrated and funny! They will sure keep your interest as you explore each and every page.

As a parent I loved this book!

This book is a winner and I thoroughly recommend it! ! It is sure to capture your child's imagination.

Summary: It's a thriller!
Comment: As the children's librarian at the community library, I'm always looking for a book that will appeal to the kids and when I read this one, I know for sure the kids would love it!

When three science students leave their fungus experiment unattended over spring break, the fungus grows and grows until it becomes out of control. It appears to be eagerly eating up the school. The illustrations are outlandish and a delight with full pages of yellow and green fungus that takes on various shapes.

The humor is contagious and I can hardly wait to hear the laughter of the kids when they begin to read this book!
