This giggle-inducing early reader kicks off a brand-new series featuring two unlikely friends, for fans of Frog and Toad, from beloved Geisel Award-winning author of The Watermelon Seed.

Earl & Worm #1: The Bad Idea and Other Stories introduces Earl and Worm, who have been friends for a very, very long time, although their friendship had a rocky start. Earl is a happy-go-lucky bird who plays saxophone to his plants because they love music in the morning. His neighbour Worm, on the other hand... well, Worm is the exact opposite. She would rather read in silence.

How will these very different neighbours become the very best of friends? With some sweet lemonade, the right shade of paint, an unfinished poem, and most of all, by sharing a little bit about themselves.

Award-winning creator Greg Pizzoli delivers three funny stories that will have kids hooting along soon after they've outgrown Elephant and Piggie.
