  Not your average children’s book, the Worms is both funny (not just for the kids) and educational (again, not just for the kids). My children (5&10y old) had a good giggle, had a few “eww, that’s disgusting, can I see the picture again?” But also talked about helping a worm in need on the pavement and the importance of washing hands (yes!). The pictures are nice and the characters are cool, we enjoyed reading The Worms!

  This is a great little book packed full of information and laughs for kids and adults! My nephew & niece loved it and couldn't stop laughing at some of it - especially the bit on Longworms! They were able to grasp the scientific terms and we all learned a lot about the different worms in our environment. The illustrations are amazing and so colourful, and really bring to life the wonderful world of worms. Highly recommended!

  That’s a really nice book. Read nicely, it’s not too long so can suit most children from small for its nice coloured pictures to older for the use of a dialogue instead of narrative and the use of more scientific terminology to expand vocabulary.
  I can see this book used not only at home but in nursery/school to support planning such as mini beast topic or science classes.

  Being a lover of all animals and acutely aware of how important even the tiniest organism is for the welfare of our Planet, I feel strongly that we all should know about worms: the bad (that in their own way are good), the good - earthworms please rise - and the ugly (a matter of opinion). It is said that the most serious messages are best conveyed through comedy and this is what I find in Clifford Warwick's: The Worms.
  
  This book is huge fun and inspiring of curiosity, not giving away the whole story so kids (and adults) will have to look into the matter a bit further ... I mean, orange peel? Is this a natural long-wormicide?
  
  And the worms, all of them, smelly or not, are so endearing!
  
  Children will love it and will grow into more environmentally aware adults because of it.
  
  Hooray for that!

  Our little boy adores this book. Funny, witty and educational ..great book to take you inside the world of worms. Also very nicely illustrated. 5 stars

• Rob Laidlaw, Biologist/Children's Author

  A delightful little book about a little known subject that any child interested in biology would enjoy. Most parents (and other adults) will probably find it enjoyable and informative as well. Colourful, quirky and fascinating, it's an unexpected and welcome surprise.
