A worm seeks the source of a catchy tune stuck in his head.
Little Worm can't shake a catchy tune from his head. As he wriggles through the forest, Owl, Chipmunk, Bunny, and Fox join in with their own melodies, creating a joyful symphony. But who started it all? Amid the musical chaos, Little Worm's quest for answers leads to a surprising bedtime revelation. Discover the whimsical world of sound and friendship in this charming tale.
A musical treat for the ear and eye, this antic tale of a worm on a mission doubles as a cozy bedtime book. One summer day, as Little Worm heads out to play, he discovers he has a song stuck in his head. “What’s that you’re singing?” Owl asks, but Little Worm can’t say. He wriggles past, determined to learn who filled his head with “Shimmy shimmy, no-sashay.” Owl flaps along with a song of his own, and before long Chipmunk, Bunny, and Fox fall in line, each contributing an ear worm to the joyful cacophony. Amid all the singing and dancing, Little Worm forgets his musical mystery until later when–surprise!–Papa Worm tucks him in. Hip, vintage-inspired illustrations and whimsical typesetting meet movement, sound play, and comic, cumulative delights in a picture book that will charm media-savvy children and their parents alike.
