How to Eat Fried Worms

De: Thomas Rockwell

Narrado por: Jay O. Sanders

Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are supplied by his opponent, whose motto is "The bigger and juicier, the better!" At first Billy's problem is whether or not he can swallow the worm placed before him, even with a choice of condiments from peanut butter to horseradish. But later it looks as if Billy will win, and the challenge becomes getting to the worm to eat it. Billy's family, after checking with the doctor, takes everything in stride. They even help Billy through his gastronomic ordeal, which twists and turns with each new day, leaving the outcome of the bet continually in doubt.

God narration

A favorite story from my childhood narrated very well. I will enjoy sharing this with my daughter.

Weirdest. Bet. Ever.

My nephew might love it when he's older. One hilarious bet. Great narration. Missed out on this one as a kid. 10/10.

optional

for us, the most memorable part was where he had to eat a night crawler

Worms!!!!

I read this when I was around my son's age of ten. he seemed to enjoy the story as much as I did at that age but more since he's a boy!

Not like the Movie, a confident character

In this book the character is more confident, and he is not bullied.
I was able to do lots of comparing.
