Descripción editorial
This sweet, giggle-inducing early reader kicks off a brand-new series featuring two unlikely friends in the tradition of Frog and Toad, from the beloved Geisel Award-winning author of The Watermelon Seed.
Earl and Worm have been friends for a very, very long time, but their friendship had a rocky start. Earl is a happy go-lucky bird who plays saxophone to his plants because they love music in the morning. His neighbor Worm, on the other hand...well, Worm is the exact opposite. She would rather read in silence.
How will these very different neighbors become the very best of friends? With some sweet lemonade, the right shade of paint, and an unfinished poem, and most of all, sharing a little bit about themselves.
Award-winning creator Greg Pizzoli delivers three funny and heartwarming stories that will delight fans of other iconic duos like Elephant and Piggie or Pizza and Taco.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Via this three-story early reader, Pizzoli (Lucky Duck) chronicles an unexpected friendship growing between two new neighbors: extroverted saxophonist Earl, a white bird in a blue jacket, and book-loving introvert Worm, who lives in an apple-shaped abode. In the book's first story, breezy slice-of-life line drawings introduce Worm as peeved by Earl's bumptiousness, but Earl proves to be an attentive listener, and the two critters discover that they each dislike being alone. Tale two sees Worm seeking to discourage Earl's copycat behavior by saying that she plans to paint her home "orange, with green stripes and purple polka dots," and comeuppance arriving in the form of a surprise good deed. The third story finds Worm again fed up, this time with Earl's clumsy attempts to help her complete a poem—until she realizes that Earl's willingness to help makes him a good friend. This look at a warming relationship dynamic considers ways that proximate opposites can not only coexist but learn from each other. Ages 4–8.
