Really cute. I read this to my kids over the period of about a month, a few pages each night. They both thought it was a lot of fun. I remember reading it years ago myself!

This is the "original" story...NOT the recent movie adaptation version. Very simple sketches and easy text makes this a great story. My 9 year old son had fun comparing and contrasting the two versions, book and movie.
This is the book the movie was based on. My ten year old read it and liked it very much. He is in third grade. It has pictures from the movie in it.
Funny, adventurous, a classic!
The BEST!! It's books like this that bring back those childhood memories that help us understand what our kids are going thru right now. Loved it!!!
i remember reading this book in my childhood.all of us kids would fight to get to our library to get it!its a good book for a young reader or pre-teen.
I loved the book. I loved reading it aloud to my son at bedtime.
How to Eat Fried Worms has happily repulsed children since its original publication in 1973. 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 Whizbang Worm Delight (an ice-cream worm cake). Readers will derive 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."
