Product Description
Worm Makes a Sandwich by Brianne Farley is a playful and delightfully funny picture book that turns backyard curiosity into a laugh-out-loud outdoor adventure.
Worm is determined to make a sandwich. There’s just one problem — worms don’t exactly eat sandwiches. As Worm gathers ingredients and tries to figure things out, young readers are pulled into a silly, imaginative story full of garden discoveries, unexpected facts, and outdoor fun.
Blending humor with gentle nature learning, this story introduces children to worms, soil, composting, and the important role tiny creatures play in the natural world.
