Little People Big Dreams does it again with Pasteur. Louis was a scientist who made great discoveries while trying to keep wine from spoiling. These discoveries lead to new treatments to make things safer for humans, and eventually led him to create the first vaccines. His original vaccine for chicken cholera may have been a mistake, but sometimes small mistakes make life better for all. ( )

Born in the 19th century, Louis came into a world where the science of medicine was uninformed and many people and children died of illnesses we seldom see today. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology because he was the first to prove that such things existed. He later began the process of heating certain foods to destroy these microbes and even developed several vaccines.
The illustrations by Shelly Laslo are fun, simple, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
