Description

Superworm can stretch himself into a lasso, a fishing-line or a skipping-rope, and he is forever wiggling to someone's rescue in the garden. Julia Donaldson's bouncing rhymes and Axel Scheffler's bright, busy pictures make him a proper hero, all loops and swagger, with his insect friends cheering him on.

When the wicked Wizard Lizard captures him, the rescuer needs rescuing, and it falls to the smallest creatures in the garden to hatch a cunning plan of their own. The book is about friends being brave for one another, and its rousing refrain is one that young children will be chanting along to by the second reading.
