How to Eat Fried Wormsby Thomas Rockwell
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is "The bigger and juicier, the better!" At first Billy's problem is whether or not he can swallow the worm placed before him, even with a choice of condiments from peanut butter to horseradish. But later it looks as if Billy will win, and the challenge becomes getting to the worm to eat it. Billy's family, after checking with the doctor, takes everything in stride. They even help Billy through his gastronomic ordeal, which twists and turns with each new day, leaving the outcome of the bet continually in doubt. From the Paperback edition. Review:“A hilarious story that will revolt and delight. . . . The chapters march briefly and irresistibly on, worm by worm. The characters and their families and activities are natural to a T, and this, juxtaposed against the uncommon plot, makes for some colorful, original writing in a much-needed comic vein.”Booklist Review:“Rockwell’s sensibilities (if that’s the word) are so uncannily close to those of the average ten-year-old boy that one begins to admire Billy as a really sharp operator.”Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:A perennial children's favorite since its publication in 1973, this is the story of Billy, who, because of a bet, is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat 15 worms in 15 days. The worms are supplied by his conniving opponent whose motto is "the bigger and juicier, the better." About the AuthorThomas Rockwell is the author of a number of books for young readers.
