Is that a wiggly worm I see?

Worms Wiggle
by David Pelham (Simon & Schuster)
If worms wiggle, what do dogs, snakes, and
kittens do? The answers to these questions and
many others are found in this exciting pop-up book
that uses rhyme to explain how animals move from
place to place. Children will be eager to guess the
movements of the animals that pop up on the
pages.
Children will “squiggle” and “wiggle” in delight as
they make worm paintings, explore worms in the
dirt, and eat candy worms that jiggle in their
mouth.
