Willie the Earthworm

Willie the Earthworm

By: Jean (Hoffman) Fetchko




In this delightful book for children, a young worm is excited to explore the world above ground. He quickly learns that some things are scary - like a robin looking for a snack or a boy seeking fishing bait - but some things are really fun - like a frog who invites him to frolic and play.
