Let’s take a look at the natural history comic book and leveled reader for kids, We Dig Worms<\/em> by Kevin McCloskey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kevin McCloskey’s book allows young readers to explore earthworms inside and out in a fun way. He shows the anatomy and life cycle of earthworms, emphasizes the importance of earthworms in their natural habitat — as food for other animals, for their role in the decomposition of plant waste, and as aerators of the soil — and includes discussions of earthworm behavior.<\/p>\n

As if that weren’t enough, in the back matter are tips and suggestions for parents and teachers on how to read comics with kids, with emphasis on going “for the shared pleasure.” Wonderful!<\/p>\n

We Dig Worms<\/em> is a resource that young readers will want to return to again and again. Pick up and enjoy a copy today!<\/p>\n

Be sure to visit Growing with Science blog<\/a> for an inside look at the book and for related activity suggestions.<\/p>\n
