Where Do Worms Go in Summer?

When summer is hot, worms hide! They don’t like the warm sun.

So, they dig down, down, down into the cool soil

Worms help the soil by moving dirt and making little tunnels.

These tunnels help water and air reach plant roots.

Even when we can’t see them, worms are working hard!
