From the publisher
Yup! You read that right . . . WORMS! Only thing for an outcast to eat . . . But what if wet, gooey, chewy worms could be a way to meet someone new? What if there’s somebody out there who wallows in worms just as much as you do? Well, for an ugly duckling and a black sheep, there may just be a cure for their loneliness . . . And you know the cure can only be one thing: worms–I mean, friendship. In this hilarious remix of the classic nursery rhyme, Linda Liu breathes new life into the importance of connection–with a book that demands to be sung!
