She picks up a parade of followers as she goes, with a wide variety of settings and creatures pictured. Then we get to see just what Tippy does on her “nightly stroll”, wandering past a fisherman, through the garden, across the pond, and down to the forest.

Tippy wakes up in her bedroom, but it’s scattered with animals and the debris they’ve left behind. It’s imaginative, clever, and rewards rereading to catch all the details. That’s why, of this batch, this was my favorite. (The publisher provided some of the following as review copies.)

We Dig Worms! came out this past spring the others last year and the year before. They’re recommended for those age 3-8 or approximately kindergarten and first grade. Level 1 are “first comics for brand new readers” that feature few images, short sentences, simple vocabulary, and easy-to-understand premises. Toon Books ranks its publications, which are aimed at young readers, according to reading level, to make it easier for educators, librarians, and parents to find the right books. ![]()
