Celebrate a birthday and some winter fun with three laugh-out-loud stories featuring unlikely friends Earl & Worm—the stars of an irresistible early reader series from Geisel Award-winning author Greg Pizzoli.

It's Earl's birthday! Worm is excited to celebrate with her lifelong friend. But even though Worm has found the perfect present and baked a delicious birthday cake for Earl, she worries that they won't be exactly what he wished for.

Join this unlikely pair as they spend a special, snowy day together and discover that the best birthday gift anyone could ask for is what they already have: friendship.

With his signature humour and heart, Geisel Award-winning creator Greg Pizzoli delivers three stories that will delight fans of other iconic duos like Elephant and Piggie or Pizza and Taco.
