Book Reviews of Diary of a Worm
Book Review: A Funny, Clever Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are some famous diarists out there, of course. But a diary of a worm? Turns out to be a great idea in this author's deft hands. A young worm - we know he's male by the baseball cap; his sister's is identified by her pink bow - offers young readers a hugely entertaining worm's-eye view of the world. We learn that the three best things about being a worm are never having to go to the dentist, never getting in trouble for tracking mud through the house, and never having to take a bath - traits that young children can appreciate. What "Diary" encompasses is a nifty mix of facts about earthworms and an entertaining anthropomorphized account of a worm family. (The young worm is no fonder of homework than his human counterparts.) Important points are gently reinforced - good manners, Truly hilarious illustrations (the Secret Service worms sport regulation dark glasses and earpieces) enhance the charm. This is an outstanding writer-illustrator team (Harry Bliss is an award-winning cartoonists for The New Yorker) that has, not surprisingly, been on the New York Times best-seller list more than once.
