review 1: A charming book about a worm who gets up on the wrong side of the bed and is cheered up by the relentless optimism of his best friend, Lou (a bird!). I know some people had issue with the shifting of speakers within on single pages, but I think this book screams to be read outloud. The short, lyrical phrases and back in forth nature of the dialogue lend themselves to fun voices and a dynamic storytime.The art is a bit primative, but bright and bold.
review 2: Poor Noodle! Things aren't going too well for this worm. Miserable, he calls on his bird friend Lou who points out his positive attributes and reminds him to see himself through the eyes of others. Lou also points out that perspective can change how we feel about ourselves or life's challenges. This is a m... moreessage worth hearing even though most of us have heard it before. It's interesting that a friendship exists between this unlikely pair. The watercolor illustrations complement the text nicely and show the personalities of bird and worm. less
