A jokester worm finds out that friendship means more than just play in this candy-colored young graphic novel by an Eisner-nominated comics artist.
Wiggler loves a good laugh!
Thanks to a joke book that she took out from the library, her day is all fun and games. Everyone in town enjoys her new jokes . . . until she accidentally hits a nerve and makes her friend Roro angry. But
why? Did she forget part of the joke? Did she tell the punchline wrong? What could possibly be the problem?
After a nudge from a four-legged friend, Wiggler realizes that jokes aren't always helpful, especially when someone is sad or stressed. Wiggler tracks down Roro to make things right--and Roro comes up with an excellent joke of his own.
