Illustrated by
Arthur Howard.
Noodle feels glum about his worm characteristics ("My head has no eyes...and I don't have a beak...also--no feet"). Luckily his supportive feathered friend Lou is there to reassure the invertebrate of his positive attributes: "But you're long, and so sleek, which is perfect for you!" Expressive watercolor illustrations show the two bosom chums engaged in snappily rhymed back-and-forth dialogue.
