Meet a worm not that different from you or me, except that his head looks a lot like his tail! A hysterical journal about the daily doings and the hidden world of a lovable underground dweller that will be sure to delight kids both young and old. Directed by Gene Deitch. Narrated by Alexander Gould.
Reviews:
Video Librarian: “…a winning slice-of-the-annelida-life chronicling several weeks in the existence of a young Lumbricus terrestris (earthworm)… an imaginative delight… in which children will enjoy parallels between this worm’s life and their own.” 3-1/2 stars.
School Library Journal: "Cronin combines the silly and the informative in this clever glimpse into the daily life of a worm. Comical cartoon illustrations with varying perspectives...just might spark interest in a classroom worm farm."
Awards:
Book Awards: School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
Film Awards: ALA Notable Video; Special Jury Award, Worldfest-Houston
