>> "Winnie Finn, Worm Farmer" by Carol Brendler might work:
>>
>> Kirkus Reviews (July 15, 2009)
>> Winnie Finn, worm farmer extraordinaire, would love to win a prize at the
>> annual county fair, so she can buy herself a new wagon. But worms are never
>> recognized as trophy winners. Winnie knows better: Raising good red
>> wigglers will help her neighbors earn prizes for the best corn, best egg
>> layer and prettiest Afghan puppy. With a little help from each of her
>> friends, Winnie applies her worm knowledge and ingenuity to help Mr.
>> Abernathy raise the tallest corn, which in turn is fed to Mrs.
>> Yamasaki-O'Sheridan's productive hens, whose eggs help Mr. Peasley's pups
>> develop the shiniest coats--resulting in first prizes for all. Brendler
>> creates a clever cumulative ecological tale filled with spunk and a bit of
>> vermiculture. Hoyt's sprightly cartoons add just the right amount of
>> humorous action to Winnie's worm-farming tasks, while Winnie's winning
>> personality allows readers to learn a bit about the positive aspects of
>> worm composting. An author's note includes directions for creating a worm
>> farm and sources. (Picture book. 5-8)
