| THE WORM FAMILY by TONY JOHNSTON Johnston, T. (2004). The Worm Family. (T. Johnston, Illus.). Orlando: Harcourt.
This is an uplifting tale following the trials and tribulations the worm family repeatedly negotiate when moving into a new town. Because the worm family are 'worms' and drive a carrot-shaped car, are brown with dark hair and sport wide eyes and bulbous lips and are loud, they are unwelcome by their neighbours. This picture book is not totally relevant to the families genre however, it was included to teach children that prejudice against families because they are different or live differently to us is an unfair action. Finally in the end the worm family decides to stay put and make friends. This book teaches children that each individual can be different but compatible.
