Work detailsHow to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell (1973)
None. I would use this book to incorperate science by teaching the students about worms.  DakotahEpple | May 1, 2013 |  Read to me in second grade. (  ) pussreboots | Apr 6, 2013 | Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years. ( ) wodenthewanderer | Apr 2, 2013 | Loved the movie for this. Every kid should watch it. And read the book. But I only read the book when I was much older, because,as a kid, I did not want to read a book about eating worms. Like, come on. Disgusting. Now that I'm more mature, I can see why this is such a popular kids' book. It's about friendship. How you could fight with your friend one moment, and then be the best of buds again the next. It's fun, it's about kids being kids, boys being boys. Every kid should know about this (at least, boys should). (  ) qquiet | Apr 2, 2013 | Summary: A bet has been made between friends that Billy cannot eat fifteen worms. Joe and Alan bet he cannot, but Tom is on Billy’s side. This book follows the exciting challenge through all fifteen worms. Joe and Alan try to sabotage Billy, but Billy outwits them and wins. The prize for winning is $50 and Billy buys a bike with the money. Personal Reaction: The book was pretty interesting to me, but I think kids would love it. I believe it is more of a boy book, but some girls may enjoy it also. Classroom Extension Ideas: 1. We could watch the movie and see how it compares to the book. Have the children write a paper on the differences in the movie and book and which one they liked better. 2. Make the children dirt pudding and hide gummy worms inside. Have the children dig out the gummy worms. (  ) JessMaeC | Apr 1, 2013 | no reviews | add a review Has as a student's study guide
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440421853, Paperback)How to Eat Fried Worms has happily repulsed children since its original publication in 1973. Now youngsters can experience this classic story in a whole new yucky way, by listening to it on audiocassette. Narrator Jay O. Sanders gives extra kick and vitality to this already lively yarn. He throws himself into the role of a 10-year-old boy, facing the most revolting bet of his life. Billy must eat 15 worms in 15 days--but the reward will be worth it: $50 for a shiny new minibike. Luckily, Billy's friends cook up these fat juicy grubs in a variety of appetizing ways--drenched in ketchup and mustard, fried in butter and cornmeal, and the pièce de résistance, a Whizband Worm Delight (an ice-cream worm cake). Sanders derives obvious pleasure from reading (and singing) out loud the hilarious rhymes and childish chants concocted from the mind of the book's author, Thomas Rockwell. "Trout, Salmon, flounder, perch, How to Eat Fried Worms is a ghastly gastronomical treat that will dazzle young listeners. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Naomi Gesinger (retrieved from Amazon Tue, 21 Sep 2010 01:47:30 -0400) Two boys set out to prove that worms can make a delicious meal.
