between the
[Music]
between the lions between the covers
[Music]
[Music]
between the lions
for one moment and everything starts
ringing oh my goodness
[Music]
memorial public library information hen
speaking
pardon
[Music]
do you think you are a
snail you don't know
that's why you're asking me
[Music]
well before i can tell you if you're a
snail i need to learn a little bit more
about snails would you mind holding for
a minute
you're not in a hurry are you
[Music]
oh good yes well all right oh please
all right let me see if i can find a
snail and something about snails
oh goodness that's not right
something over here maybe snails nails
nails nails snails
getting off cliffs for dummies so that
won't do me any good oh let's see oh oh
god right in front of me
are you a snail by judy allen and tudor
humphreys well this should be able to
help me
are you a snail
if you are your life began in an egg
like one of these
when you hatch you look like this
this is your mother
you are much smaller than your mother
you are very
very small
[Music]
but you will grow
[Music]
you have two horns and two eyes on
st*lks you can pull your eyes right down
inside the st*lks and into your head if
you need to
[Music]
you are
slimy
you are very
slimy
[Applause]
you have a shell with a beautiful
pattern on it
you have no legs and only one foot
but it is a strong foot
the slime on your strong foot helps you
slide along
wherever you go you leave a silvery
slimy trail
[Music]
you like damp places
you like to be outside when it has
rained
you have a big rough tongue right inside
of your
mouth use it to rip pieces off of leaves
and eat them
watch out for thrushes
brushes are dangerous
they like to eat
snails they know how to break the shells
off and they don't mind the slime
hide in the daytime
go out at night when the thrushes are
asleep
[Music]
look out for foxes
foxes are dangerous
hungry foxes eat snails and they don't
mind the slime either
foxes go out at night but you can't hide
at night because you need to eat
sometime just be careful
do not go where humans go
you could get squashed
you move too slowly to get out of the
way
[Music]
humans don't like you because you eat
their plants
they might put poison or sharp gravel in
the garden
it hurts to walk on gravel also it
sticks to your slime
and poison
poison is poisonous
you may meet someone who looks like this
it is not a snail whose shell has fallen
off
this is a slug
the winter cold makes you sleepy
find a safe place
your slime hardens into a door in your
shell
the spring warmth wakes you
dribble on the inside of your shell door
it melts away
slime off and find food
[Music]
however
if you look a little like this
or this
or this
or this
you are not a snail
you are
a human child
[Music]
you have no shell on your back
you have no horns and your eyes are not
on st*lks
but you can do a lot of things that
snails can't do
you are not afraid of brushes or
foxes most humans like you
best of all
you are not in the least bit slimy
the end

if you were
if you lived in a shell you might be a
snail
a turtle
a conk
or a spider crab
if you were a spider crab
you'd try hard to hide yourself
you'd live in sea grass on the edge of
the ocean
you'd squeeze in among the rocks
you travel at night under the cover of
darkness
and you'd be a master of disguise
your shell would have prickly hairs you
could stick things to
like seaweed and sponges
anything to keep you hidden
when you outgrew your shell and grew a
bigger one
you'd cover up again
but what puts you in such a hiding mood
seagulls of course
you're his favorite food
if he decides to swoop and grab you
hide because that's what spider crabs do

my whole
[Music]
hide and seek more hiding it's hard to
do because worms don't have eyes
worms don't have eyes
learn something new every day huh worms
are wonderful
my
how about we read this book about worms
and then maybe we can get some clues
about where little wormy might be yes
please yeah that would be wonderful
go ahead thank you okay now this book is
called wonderful worms by linda glazer
with pictures by loretta krapinski
earthworms are fat and wiggly who like
my fingers and toes
they live where it is cool and dark and
damp
where roots spread out like underground
trees
worms feel sounds with their whole
bodies
they feel thunder when i walk
they are wonderful diggers they dig
passageways and burrows
but they don't use shovels or fingers or
toes
how do they do it
they eat their way through and move
along
they stretch out long and thin and
squeeze in short and fat
stretch and squeeze stretch and squeeze
eat and dig move and dig
[Music]
earthworms mix and turn the dirt as they
dig and tunnel in the earth
they make the soil soft and airy so the
roots of plants can breathe and grow
worms don't have eyes or ears or a nose
they do have a mouth
and they need food just like i do
but they eat dirt and rotting leaves
they swallow tiny pieces
and inside the worms the food changes
[Music]
when it comes out of their tail ends it
makes the earth rich so plants can grow
earthworms are my helpers the
underground gardeners
we work hard in the dirt in my garden
their home
the end
ah
i never knew how cool worms were
no wonder you're upset about losing your
worm walmart
