Eric the Earthworm

by Cheryl Bond-Nelms

Eric the Earthworm helps young readers deal with feelings of envy. This book is about a young worm who loves life in the park where he lives. Eric looks around and just beams at all the sights and sound, but one day his joy turns to sadness when he begins to envy the abilities of other residents in his park. Without even realizing it, Eric's thoughts of wonder and amazement suddenly change to feelings of envy. Eric's mother notices a difference in her son and helps him realize he has no reason to envy anyone, and by doing so boosts his self-esteem.

A book with amazing illustrations! So beautiful and HOW CUTE is Eric the Earthworm?! I'm sure kids will love him.

This book contains a lovely lesson as well, that of envy and how to see things differently in life.

One thing I did wonder is, where is Eric's father and does he have brothers and/or sisters? I'm sure kids will wonder/ask as well!

I'd love to see this book featured in kindergarten, because you can really open up conversations and ask the children: What is unique about you? What can YOU do good? And maybe even compliment each other on it!
