Leo and the Toothworm
2023
Synopsis
Leo loves hard candies more than anything else. But after he pops a third consecutive strawberry-flavored candy into his mouth, Saara shouts: “Leo, don’t eat so much candy! You could get toothworms!” Leo studies his mouth in the mirror and wonders what toothworms might look like. Are they big and snakish like the boas and cobras in a book at their preschool? Or little and cute like caterpillars? And what if toothworms are as slimy as earthworms?Reading Sample
