Fun & Silly Read
My boys (4.5 & 7 yo) love this book. I find it entertaining. In addition, I appreciate that it is teaching the concept of a diary/journal to my 7yo, who is interested in such things.
Down side: my 4.5 yo is now eating paper because both Worm and Dad eat papers (homework and newspaper respectively). I actually think it's funny and know that he's taking the messages of the book to heart!
Great for 5 year-olds and up (Mom, too!)
Many of the jokes are still a bit over my four-year-old's head - although the page where the polite worm has to say good morning to a line of over 600 ants did have him in stitches. I LOVED IT, though. Will definitely hang onto this one until he's ready for it which won't be long at all. I think about 5 and up would be perfect age for this one. I didn't realize that this one was more than just funny - it also has actual worm information! Who knew?
Great Writing and Illustrating
Doreen Cronin's Diary of a Worm is laugh out loud funny. While some of the humor will quite probably go over the heads of young children, I know it will be in MY favorites pile when I'm reading to my grandchildren.
On its own this story is wonderfully written and entertaining, but when combined with the charming and humorous illustrations of Harry Bliss, it becomes a childhood classic.
Highly, highly recommended.
