Praise for Winnie Finn, Worm Farmer:

. . . a clever cumulative ecological tale filled with spunk and a bit of vermiculture. Hoyt's sprightly cartoons add just the right amount of humorous action to Winnie's worm-farming tasks, while Winnie's winning personality allows readers to learn a bit about the positive aspects of worm composting. An author's note includes directions for creating a worm farm and sources.
