Loved, loved, loved it. First, I’m a huge Doreen Cronin fan. She’s the author of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type. The Diary of a Worm is exactly what it says — a diary (good for showing kids how to write a diary) and the day to day life of a worm. For example, “May 8 Had the worst nightmare last night — giant birds playing hopscotch. Mom says I have to stop eating so much garbage right before I go to bed.” Paired with the ooey, gooey Insta-Worms, this book kit rocks! Once we finished the book, we made worms, more worms, worm balls, worm blobs. It was addictive, fun and entertaining.

Love the book

The Diary of a Worm book by Doreen Cronin is really adorable - sometimes sweet, sometimes cheeky, it is very cute. The worm is an elementary student worm and a lot of the things that happen in his life, kids can relate to. The worms kit is tons of fun, too. Product Description: This is a great way to combine science and literature in an engaging, worm context.
