Iris finds out that having a stomach virus is exhausting, especially when her brother, Doug, lets her know that she always gets sick at the wrong time. The sibling rivalry and misunderstanding of what germs are when they are called bugs unfold in this light hearted story of Iris's ordinary illness and her unfounded concerns. Arlene Alda's engaging prose, interspersed with rhyming couplets and complemented by the quirky, vibrant cut- paper collage illustrations of artist Lisa Desimini, make this book a must- have for any child who has ever had more than a runny nose.
