Series: Giggle and Learn

★ ""McCloskey comes not to bury worms (they can handle that themselves) but to praise them in a guide to annelids that manages to be reverent in its irreverence.""-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

What do worms do all day? How do they see? And why are they so cold and squishy? Find out by going on an underground tour through the hidden world of earthworms. Kevin McCloskey's book even shows readers what's happening inside a worm's body-brain, crop, gizzard, and more. The book takes young readers from ""ew!"" to ""wow!"" as they learn about the different ways worms work hard to help the earth. Kids may pick up many of the life science lessons contained here on their first read, but they'll return to We Dig Worms! again and again to rediscover its story. Deceptively simple, humble yet charming, this little book reaches surprising depths . . . just like, well, a worm!

Kevin McCloskey's bestselling Giggle and Learn series blends facts and fun to entertain young readers about common creatures.

Reviews for We Dig Worms!: TOON Level 1

2016 Eisner NomineeSchool Library Journal Best Books of 2015A 2016 Texas 2x2 Reading List Selection Beginning readers who tunnel through this upbeat first introduction will 'dig' them too. Kirkus Reviews McCloskey comes not to bury worms (they can handle that themselves) but to praise them in a guide to annelids that manages to be reverent in its irreverence. Publishers Weekly (starred review) This paean to the worm is a winning combination of facts and gross-out fun. New York Times An excellent primer for worm enthusiasts and an excellent easy reader for graphic-novel fans. Booklist My daughter (budding naturalist that she is) loved the detailed 'map of the worm' and was audibly astonished at several of the facts. Jamie Greene for Geek Dad An adorable and interesting picture book for ages 4-8 that turns the worm eww factor into a sense of awe and respect for the hard-working cold-blooded creatures. Wink Books
