Giggle and Learn by Kevin McCloskey
|
Kevin McCloskey is the author of the critically acclaimed TOON Books “Giggle and Learn” series and an illustration professor at Pennsylvania’s Kutztown University. His first TOON Book, We Dig Worms, was described as “a winning combination of facts and gross-out fun” by The New York Times. His wife (a librarian!) asked for a fun worm book to read at the library, so he came up with an informative and silly story that evolved into a now beloved series of four.
