Overview
When Dutch biologist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first observed and carefully described the multitude of bacteria growing in a water sample, it was a miraculous discovery. But what did the bacteria think about it all??
This story is an irreverent, hilarious account of the day in 1676 when bacteria was discovered -- as told by the bickering bacteria themselves! The bacteria hang out in the pickle jar, on the cheese, in the buttermilk and wonder: will TODAY be the day they’re discovered?! They’ve only been waiting for 3 billion years, after all.
Backmatter includes additional facts about bacteria and their discovery in 1676.
