Summary: Worm and Worm love each other and decide they want to get married. They’re ready to go, but their friends tell them they have to do things the way they’ve always been done. Cricket wants to officiate, Beetle decides to be best beetle, the Bees not only want to be brides’ bees, but insist on flowers, cake, a white dress, and a tuxedo. The only problem with that is, it’s not clear which worm should wear the dress and which the tuxedo. One worm ends up with a tuxedo and bridal veil, and the other with a white dress and black top hat. Cricket objects that that’s not the way it’s always been done, but the worms insist, and in the end, everyone is happy to see them married. 32 pages; ages 4-8.Pros: What starts out as a sort of insect Bridezilla ends up as a celebration of marriage for all who love each other. The bugs are as cute as…well, bugs. And who can resist a happy ending?Cons: Some readers may see this as a book with an agenda.
Recently found this book in our local library. It has quickly become a favorite and we have read it multiple times every day for our 2 young kids at their request.It is a very sweet story, that a worm loves a worm, and they get married even though they don't do things exactly as things have always been done.I also found that it could speak to any non-traditional marriage, and not just the topic of same-sex marriage, because many of the traditions they are told to follow are also not necessary for a loving marriage to occur (ex flowers, a band, cake, tuxedo/dress).
Worm loves Worm is a very cute story. I was not expecting it because I made a poor judgment on the book's cover, but after reading the story, never judge a book by its cover, quite literally. Very impressed and a book to read to kids.
This charming and original book celebrates love and marriage for all. With subtle humor and expressive illustrations, children will beg to read it again and again. Adults will want their own copies. (and teachers will love the chance to explore the unique characteristics of worms) I've already ordered four more copies for gifts. This book belongs in every family's library.
A wonderful story for all children and teachers. A perfect way to tell a story about the changing world around us. Beautiful illustrations and a story that children will want to have read to them over and over. Who doesn't like a wedding? Belongs ion every home with children.Neil R.
Wonderful and charming! Simple, subtle and important messages are delivered ~ great for the time...Beautiful illustrations by Mike Curato.I'd purchase again! and will be for my nieces, nephews and friends children.
Fun story about two worms who fall in love. But who is going to wear the veil and who the tux? And how are they going to wear a ring? And carry the flowers? Different creatures offer ideas which shows you can make it all up the way you want it.This will open children's eyes to non-traditional weddings and love conquers all.
Our kids are crazy about this book and so are we. It is a beautiful story about individuality (including gender fluidity) and breaking with traditions that no longer serve us. Delightful writing and artwork.
