Darwin's Super-Pooping Worm Spectacular Synopsis
The story of Darwin and the Worms not only centres around the perennially brilliant subject of poo, it teaches children about a key historic figure, the food cycle and deductive scientific thinking. It is also a heartwarming story of the triumph of a zany underdog who wont let bullies get in the way of his love for worms.
