Yucky Worms (Nature Storybooks)

Product Information

The illustrations really made me love this book even more. Not only are they clear and fun but there are also lots of little extras going on in each picture and the best part of all the illustrations is the fact they are quite funny with little speech bubbles and comments made by the worms and other insects. There’s something about funny pictures that makes them more fun to read and I can see kids really enjoying looking over this book again and again and spotting all the extra things in the pictures like extra worms, insects, toys and cats. It makes each picture more interesting and fun and I’ve always felt that books with extra things to see in the picture make it great fun to re-read.

Understanding the World ELG: People, Culture and Communities. Describe their immediate environment using knowledge from observation, discussion, stories, non-fiction texts and maps As a picture book I would really recommend this for all kids. What I love is how at the end kids are taught to be respectful when seeing and handling worms. I remember when I was at school as a kid myself, there were some young kids who treated worms like a play-thing and were quite cruel in the way they handled them. But with this book it can really change your perspective and although I always knew worms are good for your garden, I never knew just how good or how amazing these little creatures are! Understanding the World ELG: People, Culture and Communities. Explain some similarities and differences between life in this country and life in other countries, drawing on knowledge from stories, non-fiction texts and –when appropriate – maps. Who would have thought those little wrigglers we call worms would be such a high importance in our environment?! This book explores the nature of humble worms and what job roles they have. From recycling our waste to make rich compost for your garden which your crops will love, what they eat, how they aerate and improve the soil, how they move around as well as explaining the anatomy of those 'underground farmers!'The true story of the wolf that turned a wolf killer into a wolf champion. Beautiful and unflinching, tragic and inspiring. Understanding the World ELG: The Natural World- Understand some important processes and changes in the natural world around them, including the seasons and changing states of matter. The book is told from the point of view of the young boy who is spending the day with his Gran while she tends to the garden. When she digs up a worm he’s disgusted at first but then his Gran starts to explain just how great these creatures are. Although it sounds a little like a fiction story it’s a non-fiction book and there are a lot of worm facts explained in a really fun way. Something about the ‘story’ aspect of the book just seems to work and makes it easier and more engaging to learn about worms.
