It's not a 'how to' book. Just to let you know. It's more of a kiddie bet gone wrong. One day, for whatever reason, a group of kids challenge their buddy to eat worms. He doesn't like that idea too much. But, becuase of the reward in mind, he lays down some ground rules.1) he will eat only one a day.2) they will be prepared different ways, preferably fried.3) he can use condiments.It's a funny, sickly, story that got me from page one. I remember reading this classic a long time ago. And I would read it again in a heart beat. After all, the main character apeals to me. He's a pretty courageous boy eating all those worms. You gotta give him props! Enjoy!(P.S. Keep on the lookout becuase they say they are doing to make a movie out of this book.)
