Whoa, Wiggle-Worm: A Little Lemon Book about an Overly Active Child

by Betsy B. Lee, Catharine E. Varnedoe (Illustrator)

In this sequel to Little Lemon (Activities for Developing Motivation and Memory Skills), the reader makes another visit to delightful Lemon Land. Little Lemon and Lickety-split help David (Wiggle-worm) gain self-control, self-respect, the respect of others, and secrets for doing better in school. A turning point in the story is when David discovers that he can control a runaway pony. Discussion questions in the book deal with strategies, the impact of nicknames, and how it feels to be helpful. David could be a child with ADHD, LD, behavioral problems, low or high blood sugar, sleep deprivation, or other conditions. The author carefully avoids a specific label for this reason. Links are given to books and articles about these conditions.
