Children’s picture book from early-mid 80’s where a kid gets a shot from his MD and inside the syringe are soldiers, that go through the needle and attack the evil germs in the kids body. The soldiers kind of resemble “nut crackers” from what I remember.
I think I had this book as a kid! It was the story of Louis Pasteur. Try The Value of Believing in Yourself: The Story of Louis Pasteur. He gives a shot to a boy bitten by a dog with rabies. There were definitely little soldier guys in his vaccine.
This sounds like “The Value of Believing in Yourself; The Story of Louis Pasteur” by Spencer Johnson, MD. It was part of the ValueTales series and it features an illustration of soldiers in a syringe (looking very much like nutcrackers) to represent a rabies vaccination. I am new to this site and don’t know if we are allowed to link to other sites, but I have purchased several used copies from this series using a very well known internet bookseller.
I can take a photo of the book page with the vaccine “soldiers” but I am not sure how to submit it. Thanks!
