I dare you to read this aloud without singing - and without getting your own ear worm.

When I saw this at the library, I was so excited! I made Trent stop right there and sit on the floor to read it, and we are both so smitten with the book. EVERYONE will connect with this book and also will get the Ear Worm's ear worm right in your head!

A young worm has a song stuck in his head, which he learns is called an earworm. As he walks along, he meets some friends who are also experiencing their own earworms.
This would be a fun book to read to students to have them discuss what earworms they have experienced and also how they get earworms out of their head.

This book is adorable!! A perfect read aloud, everyone will have a smile on their face by the end! And perhaps a little shimmy in their sashay!

This is one of my favorite picture books in a long time. My students absolutely LOVE it and we danced around the whole library.

It's happened to us all - suddenly a bit of song is running through your head and you don't know where it came from or why. And that is just what happens to Little Worm one summer day as he goes off to play. Suddenly there is a song in his head. When he runs into Owl, who wants to know what he's singing, he learns he has an ear worm and that Owl has one, too. But Little Worm wants to find out where his ear worm came from, so the two go off together. Pretty soon, they run into Chipmunk, Bunny, and Fox and discover they also have songs running through their heads. It doesn't take long for everyone to start having fun, dancing and singing to their individual songs and Little Worm forgets all about finding out where his ear worm came from. But what a surprise when he gets home and Papa Worm puts him to bed that night. This is such a delightful bedtime book for young kids, and even if they don't know what an ear worm is, they will by the end of the story. I loved how each of the animal friends has their own tune, that repeats throughout the book, and a few reading will have your kids singing along. The digitally created illustrations are as delightful as the text. I read this several times to my young readers, and after we finished, we made Little Worm, Owl, Chipmunk, Bunny, and Fox finger puppets and so can you.
