Gabriella asks: Why Do Bookworms Eat Books? That's such a fascinating question. It also makes us wonder, what isa bookworm?? Mike and Chanel get to the bottom of Gabriella's question with iconic musician Chris Ballew.

Chris sings about bookworms and the entire animal kingdom on his children's albums under the name Caspar Babypants and in his music for grown-ups with The Presidents of the United States of America. Chris also releases albums under his own name that can be found on all streaming platforms.
