(2) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Superworm is beloved by his many friends, including beetles, snails, and other creepy-crawlies. After he's kidnapped by Wizard Lizard, Superworm's friends conspire to rescue their pal. It's some old-fashioned storytelling, with snappy rhyming couplets and a bad guy with a threatening henchman, but Donaldson spruces things up with the particulars of a heroic worm. Scheffler's pictures pop with strong lines and vibrant colors.
