5.0 out of 5 stars We all loved this one, Aug 10 2005

This review is from: Diary Of A Worm (Hardcover)

My seven-year-old son is able to read beyond his grade level but reluctant to do so unless the book is about Pokemon (and then he can lose himself for hours). However, he read this one - the text is below his grade level but the humour is age appropriate -he read it three times in one sitting and laughed over and over again. Don't buy it if you are expecting to challenge your child's reading skills. But if you are looking for something clever and new that he or she can simply enjoy without any moral lesson, this is it. Even my mother enjoyed it - as she said, it is so refreshing to see a completely new approach to a children's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diary of a Worm Review, Dec 9 2010

This review is from: Diary of a Worm (Paperback)

This book is hilarious. My Grade 2 students love it. It is a great example of how to write a diary.

Some people say that Diary of a Wombat is the funiest, but in my opinion, I think this one is the best. It makes grown adults laugh out loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, July 1 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Diary Of A Worm (Hardcover)

My daughter and I borrowed this book from the library yesterday and I have to say it's the first book in a long, long time that has sent the both of us into giggling fits. It reminded me of Gary Larson's The Far Side, but for kids. Also some of the humour is pretty subtle for a new 4 year old, but knee-slappingly funny when you get it. The illustrations are a perfect fit for the story in terms of style and content. Don't forget to check out the inside covers of the book - the snapshots and captions are just as hysterical as the rest of the book.

We both highly recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Why Play on Fears
The author and illustrator are both terrific in imagination and talent. My only criticism is in the one part that plays on children's minds in a negative way. Read more
