for one moment and everything starts

ringing oh my goodness

[Music]

memorial public library information hen

speaking

[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

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

[Music]

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

[Music]

one minute it was right here next to me

[Music]

did you know that my worm helped me grow

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

wherever he is

i hope he's happy
