From the Preschool Book

Earthworms are my helpers, the underground gardeners. We work hard in the dirt in my garden, their home.

About the Preschool Book

Wonderful Worms will make worms seem even more fascinating for your preschooler. Learn where they live, how they hear, what they eat and how they help the earth in this picture book.

From the Reviewer - Molly Christensen

While this book may not be destined to become a picture book classic, it’s a great introduction to worms for preschoolers. It’s very interesting to learn that earths hear through their bodies, and that they eat the dirt in order to tunnel through the earth. Earthworms are such an important part of making compost and aerating the soil, and this book clearly explains this concept. 

The text is short and simple, with no more than two lines on each page. The pictures are a split scene, with the bottom half of the page depicting the earthworms underground, and the top half shows what’s above-ground. At the back of the book are several questions and answers for the more curious preschooler.

Next time you find an earthworm, pick up this book to learn more. Or read the book first and then go see if you can find an earthworm and explore it closely with your preschoooler.
