Willie ate a worm today,
a squiggly, wiggly worm.
He picked it up
from the dust and dirt
and wiped it off
on his brand new shirt.
Then slurp, slupp
he ate it up,
yes Willie ate a worm today,
a squiggly, wiggly worm.

 

Willie ate a worm today,
he didn't bother to chew,
and we all stared
and we all squirmed
when Willie swallowed
down that worm.
Then slupp, slurp
Willie burped
yes Willie ate a worm today,
I think I'll eat one too.

-Jack Prelutsky

We have books and other resources on animals and worms in the primary library, both in the stacks and in the reference area and in our magazines (ZooBooks); do a keyword and subject search for your topic and put it in quotation marks (e.g. "worm", "underground animal"); you should also look at our the specialized encyclopedias and other reference sources.  As well, you should look at Worldbook online.

Finally, if you do your own search, you should use Yahooligans! or Enchanted Learning first, as these have material which is easier to use than other sites.

I've included below some pages below to help you get started.  These deal with general sites on underground animals and worms, but you can search within these sites for information on specific animals.

For general pages about animals, which WILL include underground animals, please check out the Animal Habitat page.

You will need help with most of these pages...

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,

Long, thin, slimy ones,
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one,
Up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
