Useful Teaching Tool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Squirmy, Wormy Composters is a unique book that teaches children about vermicomposting. It has clear illustrations and language about worm anatomy and reproduction on a child's level. (Not easy to find anywhere else!) There are many photographs of children interacting with worms which can help to overcome the 'yuck' reaction. I have found this book to be a terrific teaching tool.
Good start for worms in the classroom

Teachers: This book will give you confidence in teaching about worms and composting. Intermediate primary students are also able to read and understand the text. Some of the sections include "Starting a vermi-composter," "Feeding your worms," "How a worm eats," and a cute fairy tale that demonstrates the importance of worms. This book is an excellent teacher resource.
