Two lonely worms meet when eating the same pear; they become entangled--literally. After a bird pecks off their tangled tails, they realize how much they liked being together. The color scheme, milieu, bird's-eye view of the happenings, die-cut pages, flaps--Horácek owes quite a debt to The Very Hungry Caterpillar; what's missing is Eric Carle's masterful eye and ear.
