Diary of a worm is my favorite of Cronin’s Diary series. This one is so creative, without trying too hard. I liked that Worm does lots of things kids also do, but with their own unique worm appropriate twist. Macaroni necklaces, homework, and dinner all look a little different for a worn!
I thought this was brilliant. There is also some great worm factoids along the way. The whole thing just made me smile and laugh ("Worms can't walk upside down.").
Diary of a Worm is a hilarious picture book that teachers and students will appreciate. The worm keeps a diary of his daily encounters. Students can relate to some of the worm’s experiences, but most of the worm’s life is silly and unlike our own.
Early elementary students would love to read this picture book on their own or as a read aloud. The could create a diary entry from the point of view of another bug or animal, as there are several books in a series with “Diary of a ...” titles.

This might be my favorite in Cronin's "Diary of a" set. All the familiar characters are there, but I find this one to be the funniest. The illustrations are once again, on point and done so well. The message of the importance of worms for the Earth is a great one.
Diary of a Worm is a perfect example for character voice and development. The book reads like the pages of Worm's diary, and each page is chalk full of humor! Worm's interaction with his other insect friends is sure the be enjoyed by all students, and the text is simple enough that students as young as 1st grade would be able to read it independently.

Adorable. I love rereading favorites I had when I was in elementary school.
