Do any of you keep a diary?
You know, where you write down how your day went or what you think about
things? Well, worm decides to keep one. And he's sharing it
with us! What do you think will be in it? What do you think
he does all day?
Booktalk #2
Have you ever wondered what
worms do all day? If so, then this book is for you—and even if you’ve
never thought about worms much, you will after reading this delightful
book. The main character (a worm, of course), keeps a diary of his
daily experiences, including school and home activities. Although
his activities are not much different from most of ours, some adjustments
have to be made to accommodate his “wormness”. You and your students
will giggle, laugh, and be inspired by Diary of a Worm. (Becky Bridges,

Booktalk #3
Imagine
that you are a worm who goes to school and keeps a diary. If you read this
book, you will discover that there are good things and bad things about
being a worm. If you hate taking a bath, and going to the dentist then
it's good to be a worm. If you hate being small and worry about being stepped
on, then that’s one of the bad things about being a worm. If you really
want a good laugh, then this is the book for you! (Jean B. Bellavance
