I just love these short educational books!
So worms really give some people the Ick but they are so important to our ecosystems ( in most cases ). Decomposer sounds like a nasty word and truth be told, it's a dirty job but someone has to do it!! If you don't like the word decomposer maybe think recyclers, because that's exactly what they are doing. So let's all read this little book and thank the worms for their job well done!!
I've read a handful of these sorts of books and will continue to do so and urge people to add them to classrooms and to the book shelf at home. This book does an excellent job at breaking down a subject into small, easy to read and understand chapters. It also does a great job at highlighting the importance of these creatures and inspires awe, understanding and appreciation from young learners.
I myself learned a thing or two while reading this which is always fun. I had no clue that there were worms in Antarctica! Did you??Another thing that I loved was the inclusion of some great photos.
At the end of the book are focus questions, a glossary and some suggestions on where to look to learn more!
I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.

One of an unlikely-seeming set of junior reads about animals that help things decompose – detritivores and others – this looks at the humble earthworm. Yes, it's so humble it can be several feet long, eat a lot of soil etc without any teeth, and so on. But the book doesn't mention the "so on" (split in two, regenerate, all that not-to-be-recommended stuff – just in case halving a critter brings out the Dahmer in you). What it does do, in very large font, decent photos and a touch too many box-outs, is give you the basics. They are kind of basic in that all six books of this small series could have easily fit within two covers, but I guess this is still a four star success. It gives proof that they should be thought of as our friends, and at least we now know the diet of worms. Erm...
