Four Pups and a Worm

by Eric Seltzer

Illustrated in full color. Who are you going to call when you cannot tie your tie, when your chopper will not fly, when your car begins to steam, when your mower spurts and screams? Why, you call Four Pups and a Worm , of course--the most industrious enterprise going. No " quibbles ´n' bits" for this quirky quintet. They tie. They fly. They tow. They even mow. They can handle everything from baby-sitting to back-scratching. In fact, there's almost nothing those Four Pups and a Worm can't do, as beginning readers will delight in discovering for themselves in this catchy, silly advertising jingle-in-a-book.  

Genres: Childrens, Picture Books, Animals

Any book that makes my six-year old shout, "Read it again! Read it again!" gets five stars from me. It's a silly easy-reader with plenty of rhyming words and goofy illustrations. A keeper.

This book was very fun to read out loud to my adult special needs son. He and I both giggled at the rhymes and the illustrations-story. I can't believe I've never read this Dr Suess Beginner I can read It all by myself book.

I liked the part where 4 pups and the worm were helping the family.

This might be my new favorite absurdist kids book. Wildly unpredictable yet easy to read, great art, just a blast.

All 3 of my kids have loved this book, it’s so easy to read with enthusiasm and I always have to read it to them 3x in a row and it thankfully is a quick read.

One of my favorites to read and re-read, the absurd advertising-style patter is a blast. Truly a silly delight.

This is a fantastic book that my kids love to have me read, and I love to read. When you have a problem, call Four Pups and a Worm!

Enjoyed reading this with my little girl.

I didn't enjoy this book at all. It's like reading an advertisement over and over again.

More clever than I was expecting.

[Kara Laidig · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a silly book. I think for young kids this might be a fun read. A lot of the events that happened might be fun for kids to act out and pretend they are 4 pups and a worm coming to the rescue.
