Summary Note |
This is the diary...of a worm. Surprisingly, a worm not much different from you and me. Except that he eats his homework, oh and his head looks a lot like his rear end! Written by Doreen Cronin, the New York Times best-selling author, and illustrated by Harry Bliss, this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Follow the adventures of Worm and his friend Spider as they face the day-to-day trials of family, school and much more. They find out that there are some good and some not-so-good things about being a worm in this great big world. |
