Reviews for aLEXANDER FLEMING’S PENICILLIN PROMISE
This was a really great and accessible book for kids to learn about science, Dr. Fleming's work, bacteria, etc. In addition to an easy to read story that is very suitable for the 8-12 year old suggested age range, this book comes with an 85 page primer for teachers and parents that is super informative and a fantastic resource. There was also a great list of book recommendations for any children who wanted to learn even more.

I had a genuinely good time with this one. It explains the science in a way that feels natural, and the adventure angle keeps it moving without talking down to kids.
The bits about Fleming’s work were easy to follow, and I appreciated that it shows how learning can be messy without turning it into a big moral lesson.
It’s the kind of book I’d hand to a curious kid because it makes the topic feel approachable and actually fun.

I went into this expecting a simple time-travel story, but I got so much more.
Seeing Fleming work so tirelessly was genuinely inspiring.

This book made me appreciate the everyday heroes of science.

This book series is such a good idea!! Make science fun!!
Mystery and time travel what could be more engaging to kids?
These books should be in Science classes everywhere.
Teaches the scientific method in a fun way and encourages kids to see the great things we have learned from scientists that changed the world.
And the best part is the discovery of penicillin was an accident - so its okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them!
