About this title

From the Back Cover:

Through the adventures--and misadventures--of Wilma Worm and her family, children discover the rich and intricate life of worms and the world in which they live. Earthworms become more than merely bait for fish; they become recyclers, humidifiers, plowers, and air conditioners--all rolled into one! Soil, rather than being perceived as simply a pile of dirt, becomes a living entity upon which all life is dependent. The Wonderful World of Wigglers is a guide that any child in any grade can use to explore the amazing world of earthworms. It is filled with integrated, hands-on, hearts-on activities and projects that will challenge children to solve real-life problems through critical and creative thinking. Learning to appreciate the simple wonder of the earthworm can be a critical step toward understanding the delicate complexity of the planet. When we can walk upon the Earth with awareness for those who lie beneath our feet, we begin to move in a different way, with refreshing sensitivity and peace in every step. Common Roots Guidebooks are designed for teachers, parents, and community members to create a living curriculum for children that integrates the human and ecological roots of their community. The Common Roots Guidebooks take children on a journey to discover their past, explore the present, and build a common future. Adaptable for ages 5-10.
