Illustrated by
Sinéad Hanley.
Readers count along with some chicks as, one by one, they band together to pull a particularly tough worm from the ground. They prevail with the help of a rooster and discover their mysterious worm is actually a shoelace. Rhyming text and repetition are perfect for read-aloud audiences. Collage illustrations use patterns such as polka dots and stripes to provide visual interest and energy.
