Follows best friends Snail and Worm through three adventures involving how one defines a good day, an encounter with a dragon, and storytelling.

The first book in the Geisel Honor–winning series featuring an unlikely pair of friends “delivers a steady stream of laughs” for young readers (Publishers Weekly). Told in three comical, episodic shorts and ranging in topic from adventuring to having pets, Snail and Worm will have readers laughing at the friends’ silly antics, making it a perfect book for readers transitioning between picture books and chapter books. This beloved duo returns in Snail and Worm Again, Tina Kügler’s Geisel Honor–winning companion to Snail and Worm, and complete their hat trick (wait, do worms wear hats?) in Snail and Worm All Day.

A trio of “cheerfully screwy stories . . . delivers a steady stream of laughs” in this Geisel Honor Winner from the author of the Fox Tails books (Publishers Weekly). In this silly sequel to Snail and Worm, the dynamic duo are back for more fun and giggles in three new comic shorts brimming with quirky humor and unflappable friendship. At turns clever and sweet, these laugh-out-loud stories are perfect for readers coming out of their own shells and making the transition between picture books and chapter books. “Themes of acceptance, self-love, and appreciation make this an excellent choice for early readers or a one-on-one storybook for older prereaders.”—Booklist “The friends’ banter is light and humorous, and their foibles and misunderstandings will provoke laughter as surely as the expressive, multimedia cartoon illustrations will.”—Kirkus Reviews

Schistosomiasis is Africa's second most common parasitic disease. Less than 20 years ago, over 200 million were infected. In many high-risk areas the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) has been helping to tackle the disease by offering treatments to millions of children. This book tells the story of a man, Alan Fenwick, who founded the SCI to control the worms and snails and so improve the lives of many burdened with the disease as well as reducing the numbers infected. Over this period SCI and the Ministries of Health and Education in 16 countries delivered over 220 million treatments. Treatment coverage of up to 75% has been achieved. Widely recognised as a cost-effective and successful intervention, SCI's knock-on effects include improving overall physical health, school attendance and future prospects for millions of people.
