I was previously unfamiliar with Earl & Worm but I will definitely look up the first book and keep an eye out for more additions to the series in the future. The story, characters, and format very much reminded me of Frog and Toad, which I also love. I also love when authors label chapters and have a table of contents in an early reader as I think it helps further expose young readers to most formats as they grow older. I also love how it shows the characters solving problems together, and everyone can have a "bad" day but it's also how you reframe it. Excellent early reader picture book!

Earl & Worm #2 is a cute compilation of three different stories. The illustrations are cute and the stories are brief enough to hold a young reader's attention. The stories focus on how one man's trash is another's treasure, an unlucky penny, and good times spent with a friend.

Thanks to Random House Children's and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
