Peteyboo and the Worm

By John Everson

Peteyboo was just a hungry bug with 18 legs and 37 eyes, but he was very sad, because while he had a lot of legs, he had no friends. But then one day, when he finds a strawberry to eat, he also finds a hungry worm. And before you know it, both of their lives are changed forever!

Peteyboo and the Worm is a heartwarming story of sharing and friendship for 5- to 8-year-olds.

Bram Stoker Award-winning novelist John Everson wrote this short fantasy tale to read to his son Shaun, who provided the book's illustrations and cover art.
