Wally the Wordworm | 
pickHeard about this cool 1964 book when I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman. Her dad Clifton was S&S‘s editor-in-chief & The New Yorker book critic. He thought young kid‘s books in that era were too easy to read & not challenging enough. He believed children‘s lit must be “smarted up” rather than “dumbed down.” Hence this creative story about a very hungry bookworm who decides to feast on the dictionary for fun word to munch on and learn.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
