Wow, It's Worm!: Brand New Readers

Who would have guessed one could identify so closely with a worm? In the four eight-page stories of Wow, It's Worm!, this green-striped invertebrate's small daily adventures are entirely recognizable to any young human reader. In one story, Worm compares himself to his friends and decides he's just right the way he is. In another episode, Worm is so hot that he has to keep finding more fans to cool down. He also watches movies and builds towers with his blocks. Brand New Readers is an utterly charming series introducing young children to the joys of reading. Each slim case contains four short paperback stories with colorful, funny pictures and just one sentence per page, so even new or reluctant readers can be successful at reading right away. A page of valuable tips shows teachers and parents how to help their brand-new readers master these skills. Other titles in the series include Piggy and Dad, Winnie All Day Long, and Here Comes Tabby Cat. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
