Superworm

The Red House Book Award winner. As super as books (and worms) come. Superworm isn’t your typical superhero with massive muscles. Nope: he’s super-skinny. But not weedy at all. When trouble strikes, this brave worm can transform into a life-saving rope. He can even squiggle to the rescue in really tiny spaces! We don’t know what we like more: Julia’s bouncy rhymes or Axel Scheffler’s jolly art. But it’s the super-helpful Superworm that we love best of all.

  • Winner of the 2014 Red House Younger Children Award
  • The UK’s top picture book team at their brilliant best
  • A hilarious rhyme about teamwork and helping others
  • Kids will love Julia’s rhymes and Axel’s quirky artwork
