A story about the special relationship between a child and his grandmother and the time they spend looking for worms for the garden.

A skill-building reader starring Worm finds him taking a turn caring for a class pet gnat that accidentally escapes from its tank.

By flipping the pages, the reader may view animated illustrations that follow Ricky Ricotta, a small mouse, his giant flying robot, and his annoying cousin Lucy, as they battle the nightcrawlers from Neptune that are invading through a wormhole.

Alexander and his new friend, Rip, are worried that the worms the rain has brought out are really the megaworms that Notebook of Doom describes but they soon discover that the night crawlers are trying to warn them about the monster tunnel fish that are threatening Stermont Elementary.

"A young worm dresses her family up for a photo, but ultimately comes to appreciate them for who they are"-- Provided by publisher.
