A funny and original picture book chronicles the everyday life of a young worm through diary entries. With his little red baseball cap and homework woes, aspects of the worm’s life will be more than recognizable to many children. But some things are uniquely wormy. In April, when fishing season starts, “We all dug deeper.” The day they make macaroni necklaces in art class, “I brought mine home and we ate it for dinner.” Doreen Cronin’s witty concept and text are extended by Harry Bliss’s terrific illustrations. How does a worm make a macaroni necklace? Why, by wriggling into a single piece of macaroni! The endpapers show a scrapbook compilation of the worm’s family photos and mementos, including his most recent report card (an “A” in Tunnel, “Pass” in Compost). (Ages 5–9)

One small worm . one big world!

This is the diary . of a worm. This worm lives with his parents, plays with his friends, and even goes to school. But unlike you or me, he never has to take a bath, he gets to eat his homework, and because he doesn't have legs, he just can't do the hokey pokey – no matter how hard he tries.

This hysterical picture book by New York Times bestselling author Doreen Cronin and New York Times bestselling illustrator Harry Bliss tells the daily doings of a small worm in a gigantic worm world.

Ages 4–8
