This book covers the topic of strep throat pretty thoroughly for an elementary-age

student, with an explanation of the difference between bacteria and viruses, and

symptoms, transmission of the disease, and treatment of the disease.  This is a

well-written and succinct explanation for younger researchers.  It includes

detailed descriptions of bacterial (as opposed to viral) infections, and

symptoms, transmission, and treatment of strep throat.  The photographic

illustrations are good, and well placed.  There is a glossary, an index, and a

list of multi-media sources for further information.  The web sites cited are

both fairly good.  The glossary could have included more words, such as

╥bacteria╙, but it is adequate.         There are other titles in the series about

other diseases and conditions.        Kennedy,  Carol
