"Beginning readers who tunnel through this upbeat first
introduction will 'dig' them too."Kirkus Reviews
"McCloskey comes not to bury worms (they can handle that
themselves) but to praise them in a guide to annelids that manages
to be reverent in its irreverence."Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"This paean to the worm is a winning combination of facts and
gross-out fun." New York Times
"An excellent primer for worm enthusiasts and an excellent easy
reader for graphic-novel fans." Booklist
"My daughter (budding naturalist that she is) loved the detailed
'map of the worm' and was audibly astonished at several of the
facts."Jamie Greene for Geek Dad
"An adorable and interesting picture book for ages 4-8 that turns
the worm eww” factor into a sense of awe and respect for the
hard-working cold-blooded creatures." Wink Books
