Synopsis
“Would a worm go on a walk, if you could lead him down the street? / Would he wear his tiny tennies, if he had two worm-sized feet?”
So begins
this humorous and imaginative picture book that introduces children to the idea
that animals are uniquely created by a loving and wise God. Would a Worm Go on a Walk?, with its
colorful, comical illustrations, is a fresh, fun way to teach young children
that God created all things very good. He gave all the animals, and children,
too, wonderful qualities and unique strengths. Children will giggle over the
ridiculous scenarios presented, and they will come away with the knowledge that
we all are loved and special.
My Review
This is a cute, silly, and thoughtful picture book with fun rhymes and a good message. My 9 year old enjoyed reading it and my 2 year old especially found lots of joy in the illustrations of creatures trying things out of the norm. After each funny scenario presented of "would this animal do this?", the author explained the reality of what that animal would or wouldn't do in a few rhyming phrases. I liked when it showed why the animal was special, but I found the one for the worm inaccurate, saying it doesn't like to exercise, when really an earthworm (the one pictured) spends it's whole day digging through dirt and fertilizing gardens. The book wraps up by relating that God made the uniqueness of each animal and He made children to be special too. Overall a cute concept and one that encourages teaching moments.
