Looking for an half-forgotten children's book.

November 28, 2006 10:58 AM

I'm looking for a children's book, but I have forgotten most of the salient details, including the title and author. It involved the meanderings of a worm. Each page had a sentence that included a word that was being taught to the reader. The only specific vocabulary word from the book I remember is "erudite". The book pages were black or dark with highly stylized illustrations of the worm's adventure.

Sorry I don't have more to go on, I only saw this book for a few minutes over five years ago. The book I had was found in a Goodwill thrift store and was somewhat old, but I'd be thrilled to find any edition of any age. This would be the perfect gift for a close friend. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Response by poster: Wow, that's a really good guess but I'm fairly sure that's not it. The book didn't have a true story, each page was sort of its own thing.

Thank you for your effort though!
