Zoey and
Sassafras: Unicorns and Germs (Zoey and Sassafras Book #6) by Asia Citro,
Illustrations by Marion Lindsay 96 pages
In
this episode, Zoey and her best friend, her cat, Sassafras, learn about
bacteria. The story opens with Zoey and her mom making homemade yogurt. The
look on Sassafras’s face when Zoey stirs some store-bought yogurt into some
warm milk is s cute. She may like yogurt, but there’s no way that stuff is
touching her tongue.
Suddenly,
the science project they are working on is interrupted by an earthquake! A big one! The shaking got worse before it
eased. Then the magic doorbell rings. Mom stays behind to clean up the mess
while Zoey and Sassafras run to the barn. As she opens the barn door, Zoey
encounters a huge, rainbow hoof. Her
eyes travel up, up, up and up until she sees a rainbow mane and a shiny golden
head, all attached to a ginormous horse.
The
horse, a magic horse don’t forget, says to Zoey, “HELLO. I HAVE OW. GIRL HELP? The
unicorn, whose name is Tiny because it’s a baby unicorn, is hurt. To help him,
Zoey and her mom must figure which bacteria is causing the infection on Tiny’s
leg. They conduct experiments in to determine what the best course of action
should be.
Unfortunately,
it seems to take forever for the bacteria to grow, leaving poor Tiny in
pain. That’s the part I didn’t like and
why why “Zoey and
Sassafras: Unicorns and Germs” receivs 4 out
of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
