The story is both entertaining and educational, seamlessly weaving in science, outdoor skills, and intergenerational love, all while celebrating curiosity, teamwork, and the joy of childhood.
In Elee and the Grubbing for Worms Adventure, Julie Houston Rogers brings to life the vibrant backyard world of two imaginative cousins, Colten and Elee, guided by their wise and playful Poppy and loving Mema. The story begins with Elee’s energetic arrival at her grandparents’ house, where her cousin Colten whisks her away on a backyard “safari.” Armed with a compass, binoculars, and sun hats, the duo explores colorful flowers, curious animals, and the towering “jungle” grass of Mema’s backyard.
Their greatest mission begins when Poppy teaches them how to “grub for worms”-a special way to gather bait for fishing by creating ground vibrations using a stob and a brick. Through dirt-smudged fingers, wriggling worms, and laughter, Elee learns about patience, nature, and the tiny world beneath our feet. Their adventure culminates in a family fishing trip, full of excitement, giggles, and Mema’s knowing smile as she watches them march off toward another unforgettable memory.
