Vampires and Cells by Agnieszka Jòzefina Biskup is a children's book that uses vampires and other spooky creatures to describe the real-world biology of cells. In its 32 pages it covers from organelles to mitosis and everything in between with simplistic ease, allowing children to gain a lot of information in an exciting way. I received Vampires and Cells from Capstone publishers on NetGalley and was excited to read something pertaining to my field of study. It seems that the recent trend in literature is everything vampires, especially for the preteen through college crowd; and this trend is beginning to stretch to younger readers. That is why this book appealed to me, it makes reading about something scientific much more enjoyable for kids that would rather be reading about cops and monsters. This book was smart, well written and illustrated, and very entertaining, (especially the vampire's comments and the depictions of Hooke and Leeuwenhoek). Being a student of microbiology I thoroughly enjoyed what it had to offer, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get their kids interested in science. I rate Vampires and Cells by Agnieszka Jòzefina Biskup 5/5 stars. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The topic, as you can see from the title, is about cells but told from the perspective of vampires. It's a cute mesh-up that does get a little distracting for my old lady brain. For a kid, however, this is a great introduction into the science of cells. The book does get a little technical at times but a quick look at the glossery in the back will help. The technical parts are kept interesting with little captions from the vampires learning about the cells.
This is a great book for anyone but would be easily loved by a child and, perhaps, even a teen. The descriptions combine technical words with plain english explanations making it more universal than many other similar works. I appreciated the plain language which allowed my aging brain to actually learn something new.
There's no real story line with the vampires but they are humorous and entertaining. The pictures are colorful and captivating. ( )
