A bookish chase through the stacks

A squiggly Bookworm has escaped a local bookstore, and the Catch Club kids search through books to find it before class begins. The book frames the pursuit as an adventure about books and libraries, with STEAM concepts included alongside the creature-catching premise. At 40 pages, it is a picture book built around a clear, shared challenge, and its bookstore setting keeps the hunt closely tied to reading itself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children who enjoy playful creature-catching adventures
  • Young readers interested in books, bookstores, and libraries
  • Parents and educators seeking a picture book with STEAM concepts
