We Dig Worms!
by Kevin McCloskey
McCloskey, K. (2015). We dig worms! New York, NY: Toon Books.
This Texas 2x2 book introduces young children to the importance of earthworms in a beginning level comic format. Written especially for the K-1 crowd, the book offers interesting tidbits such as the fact that worms have no eyes or nose, they move easier when it is wet, oh and sure to garner a laugh or a chorus of "ewwws"...their "poop is good for the soil." We even learn that worms can have 100's of babies and that the longest worm in the world grows up to 10 feet long! The illustrations are comprised of rounded, colorful shapes drawn on brown paper bag backing, which McCloskey notes is a nod to his belief in recycling. They do a great job of showing the fine details of not only the worms but their environment; not to mention that pesky bluebird who just wants to have lunch!
