As a kid, there were a lot of things I didn't understand. Earthworms were one of those. Just like me, a lot of kids today don't know the vital role that earthworms play in making sure our ecosystem is stable. The book, Wiggly Worm and Her Friends Recycle Organics by Lissa Landry is more like a manual to enlighten children on the usefulness of these little yet beneficial creatures that creep the earth.

Wiggly is a Red Wiggler worm that eats up dirt. She has four friends: Melba (the oldest and wisest of them all), Sarah, Linda, and Megan. Wiggly, with help from her friends, helps the farmer decompose his organic waste. In the process of decomposing, they also get food from these products. Melba helps guide the younger worms and tells them what to do. The farmer doesn't have to bother decomposing spoilt foods, the bedding straws from the stable or other organic farm products, all thanks to Wiggly and her friends. To give your child a better understanding of organic products and how earthworms help disintegrate them, thus providing manure and other nutrients to the earth. I'd urge you to pick this book up.

I enjoyed every moment I spent on this book. The importance of earthworms in the soil can't be over-emphasized. I learned about the advantages of earthworms when I was in high school. Thanks to Lissa, kids these days won't have to wait so long to learn about an organism that is so rampant. Besides the decomposing job that the author highlighted, I also learned something concerning being small. Despite the tiny nature of earthworms, they play a significant role in our lives. This is to say that no matter how small or big we are, we still have a pivotal role to play on earth.

Though the novella was brief, it contained a lot of information. Anybody would read this book and learn something new from it. Before now, I didn't know much about Eisena foetida (Red Wigglers). However, after reading Lissa's work, I can now say otherwise. The author showed her expertise and all she knew about decomposition and the roles these worms play. I found the pictures quite funny. I think kids will like them. If you are looking for a children's book to enlighten your children about agriculture, this one here would go a long way to help.

I recommend this book to all parents out there. It's a must-read for your kids. Everyone who enjoys reading children's books will appreciate this one. Considering the fact that there weren't any negatives, I don't see any reason to rate it any less than 4 out of 4 stars. It was exceptionally well edited. I didn't come across any errors while reading. Though it wasn't a turn-off for me, I'd suggest you use a new title for the book. My reason is that the current one sounds formal. I don't think it's something that someone will see and want to quickly take up this book.

A proper insight into what earthworms do on earth is good for children. Thanks for this review. You told readers what to expect.

I must say I've never given much thought to earthworms or their functions. I'm quite surprised to learn about these facts. I'm my opinion, any book that teaches about the importance of organisms in the environment is definitely worth reading.

I love the review. Laughter hit me whey you've mentioned how you got to learn about earth worms in high school, well I relate. A bit of illustrative pictures in children's books plays a huge role, as you have mentioned that the book has funny pictures, I am really convinced that indeed this could be a good book for any mom to read for their kids.

Ecology is a branch of biological science that I really enjoy. I got to understand the importance of every species to one another. I guess this is a book that aims to teach children that.
