Summary: 5 Stars
Do you like to read funny, entertaining, and gross then you should read How to Eat Fried Worms by the author Thomas Rockwell. Other books he has write is How to get fabulous rich, Hiding Out, How to fight a girl the genre is Fiction the book theme is funny, entertain, gross.
The Author writing of style is to entertain, funny, gross. The main characters are Tom, Bill, Jim, Alan. My favorite characters are Bill because he made a bet to tom to eat 20 worms before two weeks and he did do that he eats 20 worms in one week.
The background information is that they get the worms out of the grown and other places. My exciting in the beginning is when Jim ate the first worm he ate his face turn green it is gross.
I recommend this book to people that like the funny, entertain, and gross. I like this because it is funny that so many ways I will tell you first he had to eat 20 weeks but he eat it in one week.
Summary of How to Eat Fried Worms
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.
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 pi?ce de r?sistance, 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,
I'll ride my minibike into church.
Dace, tuna, haddock, trout,
Wait'll you hear the minister shout."
How to Eat Fried Worms is a ghastly gastronomical treat that will dazzle young listeners. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Naomi Gesinger
