From a highly respected microbiologist and the creator of the Youtube sensation Dumb Ways to Die (close to 150 million views to date) comes this ingenious, interactive book about the germs that occupy real estate on all of our bodies.

In the bestselling tradition of Hervé Tullet's Press Here, comes this highly interactive and genuinely funny book that teaches kids where microbes live, how easily they can be transferred, and how truly tiny they are in relation to us.

Readers are encouraged to not only join, but to transfer Min, our tiny microbial guide, from teeth to T-shirt to one's own belly button. Extremely magnified photographic images of these environments are both beautiful and astonishing, especially when populated by Julian Frost's quirky, adorable collection of microbes.

This book will have countless kids touching their own teeth and belly buttons as they discover a world unseen to the naked eye.

Acquired in a six-figure pre-empt, Do Not Lick This Book has the potential to become one of our most successful (and certainly quirkiest) informational books ever.

Idan Ben-Barak has written three books so far; they've been translated into over a dozen languages and won a couple of awards. He lives in a smallish apartment in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and their two boys. Sometimes, after they go to bed, he grabs the guitar and makes up harmless little tunes. He has degrees in microbiology and in the history and philosophy of science, a diploma in library studies, and a day job that has very little to do with any of the above.
You can find Idan on Facebook (too often for his own good), Instagram (occasionally) and Twitter (rarely). When he has anything to say about writing he says it on his blog.

Julian Frost is an internationally renowned illustrator, designer, director, and animator. He received worldwide acclaim for his animation 'Dumb Ways to Die,' created for the Metro Trains in Melbourne, Australia to promote rail safety. Winner of the Cannes Lion Grand Prixs, it was has had close to 150 million views on YouTube since 2012. julianfrost.co.nz
