Composting with red worms is easy, even for very young children. Composting teaches children not to waste, to know the value of what they have, and that they should not leave food on their plate. Joe knows the value of worms; many of them live in his compost box. When the worms' lives are suddenly endangered, Joe gets help from his friends to save them. The connection between children and animals is incredible. Children have a way of understanding and communicating with animals that adults don't have. Join Joe on his adventure to save the worms!
