What about Worms!? (Elephant & Piggie Like Reading!) by Ryan T. Higgins
Product details
Web ID: 15924420so cute and funny!
This is funny and adorable and has a good lesson about not judging others by appearances or assumptions. The illustrations are wonderful and emotive, and the story is filled with dramatic outbursts that make this a perfect read-aloud book. I chuckled through the whole story, and I don't want to give a synopsis because it's more fun to experience it on your own. One thing, though- worm hugs! #WhatAboutWormsElephantPiggieLikeReading #NetGalley

What About Worms?! is absolutely delightful. This is the kind of book that would be great to read to a group of kindergarten students to get them giggling. I will be ordering a few copies of this one. Disclaimer: I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What About Worms!?
Spiders. Clowns. Fish. We all have things that creep us out, even if those fears seem irrational and senseless. In What About Worms, by Ryan T. Higgins and Mo Willems, a very Hobbes-looking tiger is TERRIFIED of…worms. Yup, a big, brave, fuzzy tiger is afraid of worms. Written in Mo Willems’ familiar Elephant and Piggie style, this book will have your young readers cracking up, begging for a reread! The accompanying illustrations illuminate the wide range of emotions surging through the tiger, while the addition of the actual Elephant and Piggie characters cap off a truly meta experience (you’ll understand what I mean when you read it). What About Worms is a must-add to any school, class, or home library! This humorous book would be a great mentor text for K, 1st, and 2nd graders focusing on: * Character Traits * Using Illustrations to Build Meaning * Author’s Purpose * Themes: Discovery; Courage; Perspective * Writer’s Craft: Onomatopoeia * Social-emotional learning: Tackling Fears; Anxiety Authors/Illustrators: Ryan T. Higgins and Mo Willems Publisher: Hyperion Books for Children Release Date: May 19, 2020 I received this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Tiger isn't afraid of anything but worms!
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Tiger is strong and big and brave. Tiger is not afraid of anything... except worms! The much-loved duo, Elephant & Piggie, from the mind of Mo Willems, introduces readers to an adorable tiger, illustrated by Ryan T. Higgins, that has an irrational fear of worms. He is unknowingly benefiting the worms with his fears, which gives us a fun little plot twist that really makes the story! This story starts out with a letter to the reader from Mo about how Elephant and Piggie love to read so much that they've decided to share some of their favorite books with us! It then shows a picture of Elephant and Piggie reading 'What About Worms!' and immediately begins with them talking about this very book before the book even starts, which offers a bit of layering to the overall story and introduces readers to something new using something they may already know and love! Similar to the original Elephant & Piggie books, this story has thought bubbles with minimal text and onomatopoeia that is perfect for children learning to read. We have already fallen in love with Ryan T. Higgins' illustration-style from his Mother Bruce picture book series and recognized his work in the tiger right away! His characters are always super cute and expressive and this tiger is no exception! He's actually got plenty to say about worms! This story had my five-year-old laughing out loud and asking for more!

fun!
This is a great book for kids and parents alike--one that parents won't get sick of reading over and over and over. I read it with my 6.5-year-old twins and 3-year-old, and they all liked it. They liked seeing Elephant and Piggie as well as a cameo from the Pigeon. They said it was "funny and cute" and they "liked the whole story." Definitely a must-buy for libraries and personal collections! I read an ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
