DESCRIPTION:
The Worm family loves being wormy. Oh joy! They're Worms!. They're skinny--they're squiggly--they're very long--and they sing loud worm songs. What are the Worms to do? Jump back into their skinny car and hope to find nicer neighbors somewhere else? Or stay put--and show the world the Glory of Worm?In a tale both warm and quirky, a family of merry, down-to-earth worms proves that being different is truly grand. And the neighbors don't like that one bit. They're nothing like their glossy, bossy, buggy neighbors. They may not fit in, but they carry on, doing things they love with the family they love--and finally find some fuzzy-wuzzy neighbors who like them just as they are
Melissa Sack said worms!! yuck! or are they?. The Worm Family is very "wormy". They are long, and squirmy. They like to sing loud. They are very different from there bug neighbors. They neighbor are mean to them and the Worm family decides to move somewhere where they will not be judged by others. They try several places but always run into others who don't like them because they are different. Finally they find a worm family just like them and all goes well from then on out! There are lots of themes that can be discussed with this book such as family, self esteem, and worms. We would recommend this book for families to read and discuss together.
Still, there's supplemental value to this nonstory for adults to help kids realize that "each individual is different but compatible,"although the "glorious" bit seems rather much. - John Sigwald, Unger Memorial Library, Plainview, TXCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
