Willie the Different Worm & The Turtle


Book Description

"In this children's story the author, Gardiner M. Weir, applies human feelings to one of earth's least respected creatures. Willie the Worm is a happy fellow living in the soil and making sure he is not exposed to hungry birds or fishermen looking for bait. However, there is a lovely girl worm living next door, as it were, and Willie is smitten with love; but he is repulsed as being simply a yellow fellow with no special characteristics such as she likes to admire. Willie is saddened and crawls around somewhat depressed and not taking care of the dangers outside his burrow; and that is when a hungry thrush swoops down and grabs him. What will happen to Willie? The story is beautifully illustrated by Erin O'Connor."
