Told in three comical, episodic shorts and ranging in topic from adventuring to having pets, Snail and Worm will have readers laughing at the friends’ silly antics, making it a perfect book for readers transitioning between picture books and chapter books.

Ratings and reviews

My 7 year old first grade granddaughter and I love to read together every single day. I decided to order the Amazon Prime Book Box for Zoe and this was one of the book suggested for her age range. Zoe has been struggling with her reading, dyslexia runs in our family...Ducky (me), her mom, TiTi (aunt) and cousins just to name a few all have this amazing gene. So if she has inherited it, that's okay but we needed some fun ways to tackle reading head on and getting cool books in the mail well win win right. So today we cracked open this cutie and started reading it at the doctor's office and say a few folks popping a look to see what we were reading and what was causing her to giggle out loud. The storylines are both fun and easy for her to read enough of the words that she feels that she is accomplishing reading herself. Score! And the pictures are bright and bold ...Eye Catching. They had her going back for a second time to re-read the book a second time. Score! Not only that when we got home from the doctor's office she asked could she take the book and write her own story based on the pictures. This was something that has me shouting a silent hallelujah and high five. If you know anything about dyslexia or learning differences handwriting can be a struggle. One of the reasons we think she has something going on. She sat for over 2 hours and just wrote her version based on these beautiful bold illustrations. I can not wait to get more books from this author to tease her mind and keep her excited. This book great!
