How to Eat Fried Worms Thomas Rockwell 9780440421856 Books

Overall Rating: What little boy could find fault with a book about winning a bet by eating worms? How to Eat Fried Worms is full of all kinds of hilarious (and super gross!) antics with boys being boys! Billy thinks he can eat those 15 worms in 15 days and win $50! Will he be able to do it? The boys become very imaginative in so many ways! They team up--two on two--one side coming up with magnificent ways to prepare the worms so they're more edible: boiled or fried and topped with ketchup, mustard, horseradish, cheese, salt, pepper, etc. Even Billy's mom joins the menu fun and comes up with some very creative wormy recipes that almost sound enticing! The other team comes up with very creative ways to try to make Billy give up! From pretending they're poisonous, to gluing two worms together, to distracting Billy with a day of fun and food, to even making a worm out of cooked beans, they just don't give up! At one point Billy has to eat a worm alive and wriggling and I could almost feel that thing squirm with every chew!! Ewwww! Full of fun and silliness, fights and stress, and creative food for little boys (or little boys at heart) everywhere! And after all that drama we wonder: What do worms taste like? Overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars!

MATURE THEMES: Mild

Eating worms is just gross! There are some pretty yucky descriptions as Billy is eating. There were only one or two exclamations, but most of the `profanity' is the use of the word `Geez' over and over and some name calling. The boys get angry at each other and there is some fist fighting. They also often fight with words and yell at each other for cheating (or discovering the cheating). Some of the themes would include cheating vs honesty, gambling or making bets, friendship, and just the grossness factor of eating worms--whether raw or fried or smothered in sour cream! How to Eat Fried Worms is a Squeaky Clean Read for ages 9+.

How to Eat Fried Worms Thomas Rockwell 9780440421856 Books Reviews

I forgot how funny this book was, and how much fun it was to read until I read this with my nephew. Entertaining and funny! A fun book to help a learning reader enjoy reading.
This story is timeless, and pretty well matches what I remember of it after 40-odd years. Actually, I missed some of the humor the first time around, so probably got greater enjoyment of it this time around, reading it to my 6 and 8 year olds.
Unfortunately, when my grandchild got the book for Christmas and started reading it the book stopped at page 88 and started over with page 33. We ended up getting the book on so she could finish it. She loved the book and the storyline.
My son really enjoyed the book and as a bonafide picky eater, I think it was pretty eye-opening for him as well. He's actually relented slightly into trying out new foods and I think he's really just bracing himself for just in case we throw in some new proteins for him to try, inspired by the book. Still a childhood favorite apparently.
This book came to me before the scheduled delivery date, and it came in excellent condition. I would order from this company again. This is a very funny book. My students enjoyed this book very much. After reading the book, we viewed the video. Because of the PG rating, I had students bring parent signed permission forms to me so each student could view the movie as a class. We read the book as a read-a-loud, developed an entire unit based on this book, then we viewed the movie. The book and the movie are a little different, but both are fun. As a teacher, I liked the book best, of course the students liked the movie best. You can find a lot of activities via the internet to help you plan a unit around this book. This was a fun unit to end the school year with in our reading class. We even made and ate fried worms. (Yummy) Your students will love this book, movie, and all of the activities that go along with this book on the internet.
How to Eat Fried Worms

We bought the audio book which was well done. This book presented several opportunities to discuss relationship issues with my 8 year old boy. The boy in the story is prodded into doing gross things by his friends. In this story it's eating worms. It's gross, but by the end the boy grows accustomed to it and so did we, strangely enough. In the end the boys learn the lessons of prodding others to do risky things, making bets and paying their debts. How to tell real friends from those who would try to trick you or undermine you. There are lots of funny parts. The worm eating boy is sharp and even tho the other boys try to trick him he catches on to it and is able to succeed. His parents even help him as long as they know it won't harm him. At one point things go too far and his father calls the bet off even tho he only has one more worm to go. He has to defy his father to finish what he started and win the bet. The friends who help him are true friends. It's a really good story with some really good lessons, I highly recommend it.
Classic...so I bought it for my nephew for his 10th birthday. My sister texted me about a week later, she said good news and bad news. He loved the book, in fact he loved it so much he went out and found the biggest worm he could find and ate it right in front of me! I warned him, but he did it anyway, he was sick for a whole day. He learned his lesson, but he was inspired by reading. OH GOSH, I felt horrible but couldn't stop laughing for days.

How to Eat Fried Worms is full of all kinds of hilarious (and super gross!) antics with boys being boys! Billy thinks he can eat those 15 worms in 15 days and win $50! Will he be able to do it?
