Book Where the wild worms live

From dancing dung beetles to the tiniest villains: an interactive and humorous nonfiction book for kids about life underground

Did you know that dung beetles dance on poop, spiders disguise themselves as ants, and some snails defend themselves by making farting noises? There are more organisms living in one gram of soil than there are people on Earth. Moles, earthworms, woodlice, fungi, and trillions of tiny creatures ensure that plants grow, water stays clean, and valuable nutrients are created from poop. They loosen up the soil, recycle waste, and are the secret heroes of life! Without healthy soil, there would be no clean air, no clean water, and no food.

Learning isn’t just fun—it also makes you smarter. So let’s head into the depths of the Earth—with funny dialogues, surprising facts, and experiments, this book is an adventure for the whole family.
