What About Worms!?

By

Written and Illustrated by: Mo Willems and Ryan T Higgins
Disney-Hyperion, 2020. Easy Reader.

There is a new Elephant and Piggie book! Check out this new book about a brave Tiger who isn't afraid of anything except ..... worms! In true Mo Willems style this charming funny book written by Ryan T Higgins, author of Mother Bruce and We don't eat our classmates,  portrays a tiger who discovers that all of his favorite things, apples, dirt, and books have worms. Worms ruin everything and they could be anywhere! What should he do? Leave it to the worms to work through their fears. Those slimy, wiggly worms do some reading and find out that things they are afraid of like tigers may not be so bad after all.

I really enjoyed this book about facing our fears. This is an excellent beginning reader book for children who enjoy reading books with humorous colorful illustrations and not a lot of text. You will fall in love with Tiger and the worms as they learn to look at the world and their fears in a different way.

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger!

Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
