Dear Reader,

Your friend,
Tiger
Our Thoughts:
Tiger is strong and big and brave. Tiger is not afraid of anything... except worms!
The much-loved duo, Elephant & Piggie, from the mind of Mo Willems, introduces readers to an adorable tiger, illustrated by Ryan T. Higgins, that has an irrational fear of worms. He is unknowingly benefiting the worms with his fears, which gives us a fun little plot twist that really makes the story!
This story starts out with a letter to the reader from Mo about how Elephant and Piggie love to read so much that they've decided to share some of their favorite books with us! It then shows a picture of Elephant and Piggie reading 'What About Worms!' and immediately begins with them talking about this very book before the book even starts, which offers a bit of layering to the overall story and introduces readers to something new using something they may already know and love!
Similar to the original Elephant & Piggie books, this story has thought bubbles with minimal text and onomatopoeia that is perfect for children learning to read. We have already fallen in love with Ryan T. Higgins' illustration-style from his Mother Bruce picture book series and recognized his work in the tiger right away! His characters are always super cute and expressive and this tiger is no exception! He's actually got plenty to say about worms!
This story had my five-year-old laughing out loud and asking for more!
