What About Worms!?
A brave little tiger isn’t afraid of anything … except worms. They are slimy, they wiggle, and you can’t tell their tops from their bottoms. His fear of worms keeps him from enjoying a pot of flowers (there could be worms in the dirt!) and an apple (what if there’s a worm inside?!) Even a book is suspect, because it might be about worms. Meanwhile, several worms pop up from the ground and see a scary tiger, but they love all the discards he’s “given” them: dirt from a flowerpot, a half-eaten apple, and a book about tigers. They learn so much, and chase the nice little tiger to give him a “worm hug” of appreciation. Pacing and language just right for young readers will allow them to read aloud with expression while savoring the childlike humor of the story. ©2021 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
