What is Jonathan and Martha about?

Jonathan and Martha are two lonely worms who live on opposite sides of a tree. When a plump pear falls between them, they wriggle towards the feast and become hopelessly tangled together. Soon, they discover the joys of having a friend: sharing, playing and facing danger side by side. But when they are finally separated, both worms must find out whether their new friendship can survive. A gentle, funny story about companionship, adventure and never being lonely again.
