Plagues and pandemics Cover Image Book Book

Plagues and pandemics / Kate Messner ; illustrated by Falynn Koch.

Messner, Kate, (author.). Koch, Falynn, 1985- (illustrator.).

Summary:

During the Black Death in the 14th century, plague doctors wore creepy beaked masks filled with herbs. RIGHT? WRONG. Those masks were from a plague outbreak centuries later--and most doctors never wore anything like that at all! With a mix of sidebars, illustrations, photos, and graphic panels, acclaimed author Kate Messner delivers the whole truth about diseases like the bubonic plague, cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis, polio, influenza, and COVID-19. -- Provided by publisher.
