Have you ever thought of yourself as a habitat? This is a fun book all about parasites, tiny bugs and bacteria that hitch a ride with, and have dinner on, other, larger animals—such as you. It has lots of cartoons and funny pictures of these amazing micro-creatures, ticks trying to hitch rides, amazing super-jumping fleas, and the surprising life cycles of parasitic worms. Nope, we’re not alone. And neither are most other animals: dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish—even other bugs have parasites. Learning all about these clever freeloaders might make you jump up and down and say, “Ick! Ick! Ick!,” or maybe you will say, “Cool!” But you will have to admit they’re pretty amazing and resourceful. Everyone has to live somewhere, even eyelash mites!
