    Very Educational, Humorous Read!

    Narrated by a worm, this animated diary will set the readers rolling. Our main character, our worm, goes through life telling stories of the humorous, high and low points of being a worm. This story gives children a new respect for worms as they imaginatively put themselves in a worm's life. Written by the same wacky author of Click-clack-moo, Cows That Type.
