Industry Reviews
"Bliss's droll watercolor illustrations are a marvel. He gives each worm an individual character with a few deft lines, and the varying perspectives and backgrounds enhance the humor of the text...Inventive and laugh-out-loud funny, this worm's-eye view of the world will be a sure-fire hit."
Publishers Weekly (07/21/2003)
"Readers will come away with the insight that worms may not be so good at walking upside down or doing the Hokey Pokey, but they do play an important role in taking care of the Earth."
Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2003)
"Cronin uses simple, poker-faced prose to create laugh-out-loud situations, like the dance where the footless students reinvent the hokeypokey, or the visit to the dentist: 'No cavities--no teeth, either.' Bliss renders these tableaus with charm and wit. His sweet line-and-watercolor vignettes are gentle and an engaging complement to the surprisingly amusing subject matter."
New York Times Book Review - Bryn Barnard (11/16/2003)
"This will be a snicker-provoking readalone for readers reluctant and otherwise, and it would also make a comic readaloud..."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/01/2003)
