The two inveterate invertebrate pals return in another set of adventures in three easy-reader-style chapters. In "Best Day Ever," cheery Snail focuses on it being others' best day; "The Spooky Cave" presents a silly case of mistaken identity; "A Bedtime Story" highlights Worm's nurturing side and the friends' narrative compatibility. With varied mixed-media illustrations and dialogue-only, color-coded text, new readers should feel supported in their efforts while being continually entertained.
