Darwin's Super-Pooping Worm Spectacular

Charles Darwin, known for his Origin of Species, had a passion for worms. This book tells the story of how Darwin discovered the importance of earthworms. Darwin suspected worms were special but his friends laughed at him. He conducted bizarre experiments, like playing the bassoon to them and setting up a treasure hunt, to find their unique talents. Despite his efforts, Darwin didn’t find anything extraordinary until he realized worms have a superpower: they poop! Without their nutrient-rich poop, there would be no plants or animals.

The book teaches children ages 6 to 10 about a key historic figure, the food cycle, and deductive scientific thinking. It’s also a heartwarming story of an underdog who won’t let bullies stop him from loving worms. Humorous and engaging, the book features nonfiction information on each page and charming illustrations.
