Comments:
The use of cartoon characters and simple language brings this complicated subject down to an understandable level which will appeal to most readers. I think Adopt a Microbe is particularly well suited to children because of its short, easy to read entries and cartoon characters which the young will relate to. The site is still relatively new (started June 2006) which is reflected by a PageRank of 0. The author is commended on the regularity of her updates. I would recommend this site to anyone with the slightest interest in science and nature.
