A wiggling earthworm sets out to see the world, but its self-esteem is crushed when two children (depicted from the worm's perspective as sneakered feet) remark upon seeing it, "EW!" and "It's just a worm." Knowing deep down that it's more than "just a worm" but doubtful about its abilities, Worm asks some garden mates what they can do. Intricate, brightly colored illustrations crafted from quilled, or rolled and shaped, paper and other mixed media create lovely, textured scenes as Worm learns how Ladybug protects plants by eating small insects, Bee makes honey, and other bugs help a garden thrive. While Worm explains that it eats dead plants and animals and makes poop castings instead, the insecure annelid still doesn't appreciate its talents until meeting Snail, who also crawls and makes slime. With Snail's bolstering, Worm makes a lengthy list of its garden-growing attributes. In addition to brief earthworm facts, the simple, cheery yet educational text becomes a STEAM resource with a quilled-paper craft. A concluding personal-skills prompt from Worm even encourages SEL dialogue. Preschool-Grade 2. Copyright 2023 Booklist Reviews.
