Describing life processes of worms through a hands-on approach, this book shows exactly how a worm moves through the soil; explains the way they escape from predatory moles and birds; examines their various habitats and illustrates how the presence of worms in the soil helps plants to grow. The simple instructions and clear diagrams help children to care for their new-found pet.
