Why read it?
2 authors picked Worm Loves Worm as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In this story, two worms fall in love with each other. When they decide to get married, their friends ask who will wear the dress and who will wear the tux. In the end, it doesn’t matter what they wear, because worm loves worm.
I love the simple, noncomplicated theme that no matter who you want to spend your life with, love is love. The illustrations are delightful and charming.

Worm and Worm decide to get married, with a supportive group of bugs. They have a few problems: they don’t have fingers, so how can they wear rings? And they both want to be the bride! In fact, they both want to be the groom, too. “We’ll just change how it’s done,” says Worm, and so they get married. A cute and funny story with delightful illustrations.
