Review

This early chapter book has 3 short stories about and earthworm and a snail. The 2 are friends and the problems they face are ones that children might face as well, but when it happens to a snail and earthworm the results are pretty funny. A great feature of this book is that the conversations between the 2 friends are in different colors making it easy to tell which of the characters is talking. The plot is east to follow but always ends on a silly note and might even surprise the reader a bit, not always easy to do with a short early chapter book. This would be a great addition to an early chapter collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
