Title:Harriet's Hungry Worms

Author: Samantha Smith

Reviewer: Donna Dobson

Audience: ES1 - Stage 1

“And it was full of…slimy, hungry worms. Nine hundred-&-eighty-three of them to be exact”.

A delightful alliterative text, with bold colourful collage-style illustrations. The facial expressions of the worms will amuse young readers as will the discovery of the benefits of compost, worms and worm wee. The book finishes with simple facts about worms, particularly what to feed compost worms. A picture book that would pique student’s interest in how worm farms work and their important place in the ecosystem.
