Edgar Wants to Be Alone

(3) K-3 Curmudgeonly rat Edgar is outraged when an earthworm starts following him. He asks various animals to help him catch it, but nothing works until he nabs the cheeky worm himself. Readers may not guess the amusing truth until the end: the worm is Edgar's own tail. Expressive, texture-rich illustrations cleverly show earthworms minding their own business underground, as well as Edgar's antics aboveground.
