Join Worm as he digs from one side of the world to the other in this thrilling underground adventure!

Worm lives in a lovely patch of soil in a lush green field. But his peace is soon shattered when a huge digger and a hungry mole turn up! Poor Worm has no option but to dig!

He digs deeper than he’s ever gone before, and danger is lurking around every corner... He bumps into lost treasures, skeletons of fallen soldiers and dinosaurs, until eventually, he almost hits a big, hot ball of magma. Somehow, after he escapes it, he seems to be digging upwards!

A fun adventure with an educational twist from Tom Tinn-Disbury, author and illustrator of Duck Delivers, with amazing worm facts young readers will love.

About the Author

Tom Tinn-Disbury studied animation at university, where he realised that the best part of the process was writing stories and drawing characters and not necessarily making them move! After a brief foray into film editing and broadcast TV, Tom decided to pursue a career in picture book making. His first picture book, The Caveman Next Door was published in 2019 and was Runner Up in the Cambridge β€˜Read it Again’ awards. Tom uses a mix of pens, pencils, paint and Photoshop to create his art and coffee and sandwiches to write his stories. Tom lives and works in Rugby, UK.
