Illustrated by
Dean Griffiths.
When Loon Lake holds a fishing derby, entrepreneurial Wally starts selling worms. But things quickly get out of hand as floods of fishermen descend and hordes of other worm sellers dig up gardens townside. Alliteration sometimes threatens to overwhelm the tale, but the busy watercolor illustrations bustle with a colorful cast of animal characters.
