Wee Reads: What About Worms by Ryan T. Higgins and Mo Willems

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps. 



What About Worms!? (Elephant & Piggie Like Reading!, #7)What About Worms!? By Ryan T. Higgins and Mo Willems


 

Tiger is big. Tiger is tough. And Tiger has an important note for you.
Dear Reader,
WATCH OUT FOR WORMS! They are everywhere! They might even be in this book!
Your friend,
Tiger
P. S. Tiger is afraid of worms.





Do you like this book?
Yes, it was really funny. I love any Mo Willems books and I like Bruce books too (By the same author) 

What's your favorite part of the book?

My favorite part was when the Tiger was scared of Worms! That's so silly because a tiger is bigger than worms. 

What do you think of the cover?

I like the cover a lot! I like that it has the tiger that's scared of worms, and that the word "worms" is made of worms! 


This was such a cute book! Of course anything with Mo Willems name is always amazing. This starts out with Tiger who is deathly scared of worms. So scared that he can't look at flowers (Because flowers have dirt and dirt has worms!), or eat an apple (Because worms love apples!) or even read a book that's about worms! 
He gets scared and runs off, and when he does a bunch of worms come up saying that they're scared of tigers. But the worms see all of the fun stuff (Flowers with dirt, an apple and a book) that tiger left, and they think he left it for them because he loves worms!
I found myself giggling while reading this book.

Ryan T. Higgins is five feet eleven inches tall and has no sense of smell. He doesn’t like to wear shoes, but he does like salmonloaf and bike rides (not together). Instead of reading a long author’s bio, Ryan would rather you forget about him and VISIT THE REST OF THIS SITE!

I actually didn't finish this one either, I got most of the way through it. This wasn't what I was expecting and it was just kind of boring to me.
