Sam, a young germ recruited to fight in the army of germs against the boy in striped pajamas, watches his side attack when the boy forgets to wash his hands.

Recommended for children aged 5 to 8, especially for those beginning to discover the importance of hygiene and personal care.
Howard Martin (1934–2024) was a former British army doctor and GP who was prosecuted for the murder of three patients in 2005 but acquitted. In June 2010, after being struck off the medical register by the General Medical Council for hastening the deaths of 18 patients, he admitted in a newspaper interview bringing forward the deaths of two patients, including his terminally ill son. Martin died in County Durham in April 2024 after a short illness.
