A knowledgeable and conversational narrator first guides readers through how to find and treat worms. The narrator then explains how readers can perform mini observations/experiments to learn cool things about worms!
I love a book that is also an experience. Author Jodie Wheeler-Toppen encourages readers to actually get outside, find a real worm, and use their worm friend to learn by doing. Even those squeamish around our wiggly friends will want the first-hand, eyewitness acount the book so excitedly encourges, so be prepared to get your hands dirty (literally!).
