With the new school year on the horizon, I'm going through my boxes of children's books in storage and found Diary of a Worm. Who knew the inner thoughts of a burrowing invertebrate animal could be so relatable to kids? Your teacher gets on you for losing eating your homework. Your mom gets on you for making fun of your sister. But at the end of the day, it's all about making your own mark on the ecosystem. Good for as a mentor text for writing or for a unit on worms/insects.

I learned that some authers are really good writers.

Doreen Cronin, creator of such picture-book hits as Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type and Giggle, Giggle, Quack , turns here to the day-to-day life of a worm, chronicling his many earth-bound adventures in this amusing and educational diary. Opening in March, with the three things that Worm's mother wants him to always remember - that the earth provides everything worms need, that worms care for the earth by digging tunnels, that little worms should never bother Daddy when he's eating the...

Cute book with lots of humor on the life perspective of a worm while teaching us facts about worms.

Diary of a Worm is a fun, accessible read for students. I loved the diary format and the creativity and humor in every entry. This would be a great text to engage students before a lesson on insects, especially because it invites the reader to relate to the insects (often detested creatures). The vivid illustrations and comedic style gave me the feeling of reading a comic book. I think this book will be a quick and engaging read for many kinds of young readers.

I loved this cute little story. I am a worm lover though. I know it's strange to love worms, but I do. This book was cute, enjoyable. The graphics were nice. It made me laugh a few times. Very cute.

I thought this book was so cute! It's written in actual "diary" entries. It goes through the daily life of a worm. It includes him playing with his friends, annoying his sister, going to school, and eating dinner with his family. The illustrations are great, very old timey, comic book-esque. It was funny, engaging, and had a good story line featuring many aspects of daily life that children would relate to.I actually used this book to teach a lesson on fiction and nonfiction. After discussing fi...

Oh, the laughter. The boys love worms. They especially love worms that write funny books. I enjoyed reading this because it was witty and surprisingly funny. The illustrations are fantastic. They've looked through the book many times since.One caution - there is a part where the worm tells his sister her face looks like her rear end, with accompanying dead-on illustration. Being the crass person that I am, I almost lost it, but my 5-year-old said in his most indignant voice, "that's a really mea...

Hilarious and adorable! Diary entries by a little boy worm with appearances by his family (I love Grandpa worm!) and his friend the spider. Super funny. I would have loved this as a child since I was always digging in the dirt and playing with worms. Love the subtle eco-friendly message conveyed that shows how worms are important to the earth and that even the smallest creatures have a role in helping and protecting the planet. :)We're very small, and sometimes people forget that we're even here...

This is such a cute little children's book. We laugh and laugh every time we read it. Our family's favorite part is when he writes about his sister. No matter how long she looks in the mirror her face will always look the same as her rear end. Worm's friend spider thought it was pretty funny, his mother, however did not.

No matter what or whom, diaries are always interesting and thrilling to read.This time, I came to read a worm's diary. It was informative to acknowledge that worms are not boring, reckless and free animals. In fact, they are very very busy. Like humans, they have to go to school and get good grades. How do you suppose they would be able to tell us their journey in a diary otherwise?It was funny and adorable.

Diary of a Worm is a book for children in preschool through first grade. It is a humorous story in diary form of the everyday life of a worm. The worm’s humanistic qualities are shown as he chronicles the family’s vacation to Compost Island, his first day of school, his report card, information about his family, and his first tunnel, among others. In his diary, the worm also describes information that his mom tells him always to remember, why it is good to be a worm, why it is bad to be a worm,

Tunnel into the hilarious world of a young worm through a series of laugh-out-loud diary entries chronicling his life. Join worm as he goes to school, tries to play the hockey pokey (think about that for a second), and harasses his sister ("no matter how long you look at your face, it will always look like your rear"). Ecological message makes this an easy-pick for Earth Day story times. CIP: A young worm discovers, day by day, that there are some very good and some not so good things about bei...

A series of journal entries from a young male worm. Instructive about worm anatomy and behavior, but also entertaining and humorous. Fly (from Diary of a Fly) and Spider (from Diary of a Spider) make appearances in this book as Worm's friends. Illuminating example of strong voice from a non-human narrator. Great for classroom or group use to mentor journaling activities. Can be paired with Diary of a Wombat.

I read this book to my neighbor and he liked it and it was about a worm that takes you through his point of view and has to avoid being stepped on and all of the dangerous humans. He also has to go to school and live a normal life of people but as a worm. He also eats homework because worms eat things to make dirt. The theme is that your life could be worse and there are many different points of view in the world.

This is a very cute story that is told from a worm's perspective. It goes through the year and explains what worms are doing during that time, but also having them do stuff humans would do; like school.

The best piece of literature I have ever read. Cronin artfully describes the struggles and triumphs of a young worm searching for his place in the world. I was incredibly moved by Worm's inner monologue and devotion to dirt, and his crippling fear of hopscotch. Would read again.

Ok seriously I really liked this book. It was such an original idea. The way that things were explained from a worm's POV was genius!
