An Earthworm's Life

It's time to get down and dirty. Experience life from the wriggling, squiggling perspective of that ever-popular invertebrate, the earthworm. With fun, accessible text and nimbly original illustrations, this picture book puts you right where the earthworm action is. John Himmelman's color illustrations and simple text examine the life of an earthworm as it escapes its underground egg case to grow to adulthood, leaves its own egg case, and spends its life among burrows and roots.

Strikingly original watercolors depict each creature's world from its unique perspective. Simple text describes the creatures' movements and activities.
