I’m getting out of town! Dandy Dirt Dessert 25 Da n d y D i r t D e s s e r t Worms Wiggle by David Pelham (Simon & Schuster) If worms wiggle, what do dogs, snakes, and kittens do? The answers to these questions and many others are found in this exciting pop-up book that uses rhyme to explain how animals move from place to place. Children will be eager to guess the movements of the animals that pop up on the pages. Children will “squiggle” and “wiggle” in delight as they make worm paintings, explore worms in the dirt, and eat candy worms that jiggle in their mouth.
