Ering, Timothy Basil Necks Out for Adventure!: The True Story of Edwin Wiggleskin, 48 pgs. Candlewick Press, 2008. PICTURE BOOK. $16.99. What a darling book that everyone, no matter what their age, can relate to! The illustrations are amazing and draw you right into the story. Edwin the wiggleskin (clam) and his family have always lived by two simple rules: Necks out to eat, and necks in to hide! These rules work until one day the wiggleskins are snatched right from their home in the mud. Edwin is the only one left and decides that in order to save his family, he has to live by a different rule: Necks out for adventure! After this risky move, Edwin discovers things about life that he never knew. We can all learn a valuable lesson from Edwin...who knows what we will miss out on if we don't stick our necks out every now and then! EVERYONE- ESSENTIAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
