Editorial Reviews

Praise for Superworm:

"A word lover's delight in rousing, rhyming verse."

-- New York Times Book Review

"Ms. Donaldson's romping verse and Mr. Scheffler's colorful, comic illustrations combine to tell a story that makes perfect sense for all its mad improbability... Great fun to read aloud."

-- Wall Street Journal

*"A tale of friendship and cooperation... The rhythmic rhyme will have audiences chanting along by the end of the story... Silly and slimy -- superfun!"

-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
