With the humor and unexpected hero appeal of Rot, The Cutest in the World!, this new picture book celebrates the real-life legend of Mongolian Death Worms. Scientists have searched the Gobi Desert for these giant worms. Reported sightings claim that their skin is blood red; their fangs razor sharp. The worms are supposedly poisonous and electrifying . . . or are they? Meet the Mongolian Death Worm family: Beverly, Trevor, Neville and Kevin. In spite of their deadly reputation, they're determined to make nice and win over the other animals. Their overtures of friendship are . . . not reciprocated. But when disaster strikes, it's the Mongolian Death Worm family to the rescue!

Reviews for Very True Legend of the Mongolian Death Worms

"""Fay makes an impressive debut: the narrative voice is assured and beguilingly mock-dramatic, making for a well-paced readaloud; pastel-hued art . . . has a bold, flattened perspective that amplifies the goofiness of every vignette."" --Publishers Weekly ""Bug-eyed, sharp-toothed, and quite slobbery, the worm family manages to be hideous and ridiculously adorable."" --The Bulletin ""A humorous story of the importance of seeing past first impressions."" --Kirkus Reviews"
