How to Eat Fried Worms has happily repulsed children since its original publication in 1973. Now youngsters can experience this classic tale in a whole new yucky way, by listening to it on audiocassette. Narrator Jay O. Sanders gives extra kick and energy to this already lively yarn. He throws himself into the role of a 10-year-ancient boy, facing the most revolting bet of his life. 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 stout juicy grubs in a variety of appetizing ways–drenched in ketchup and mustard, fried in butter and cornmeal, and the pièce de résistance, a Whizband Worm Delight (an ice-cream worm cake). Sanders derives obvious pleasure from reading (and singing) out loud the hilarious rhymes and childish chants fictitious from the mind of the book’s leader, Thomas Rockwell.
“Trout, Salmon, flounder, land,
I’ll ride my minibike into church.
Dace, tuna, haddock, trout,
Wait’ll you hear the minister shout.”
How to Eat Fried Worms is a ghastly gastronomical treat that will dazzle young listeners. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) –Naomi Gesinger

In fourth grade we were read this book by our teacher, after lunch (!) for about 2 weeks. I really reflect this had everything to do with my now phobia of worms, which sounds stupid and a small crazy but judge me not a mild problem when it rains. Thanks, Thomas Rockwell and Miss Maroon, the nightmares continue!
(I gave it one star reluctantly because the review wouldn’t post with no stars selected)

Can a name enlighten me concerning the title of Chapter 23, to wit,
“Admirals Nagumo and Kusaka on the Bridge of the Akaiga, December 6, 1941″
What can that chapter heading possibly have to do with the book’s tale line? I questioned a person who had loved HTEFW as a child, and received a blank stare.
Thanks

I am enrolled in a children’s literature class at West Virginia State College. How To Eat Fried Worms is a book listed on a banned book list I have reviewed for an assignment in this class. Although it is a banned book, I really loved it. I got so involved in it early one afternoon I didn’t place it down all day. I really caught myself laughing out loud. I do agree that it should probably be on this banned list because of the beverage that is consumed by Billy’s father at the end of the book. This is probably not something a child should read in school. Another thing that the book has a lot of are characters lying to get out of distress. This is also something that children should not read about in school.

OK – I’m going to review this book, but I’m going to set it up first – maybe it’s all the crap on TV that’s made me so mad. I truly am disgusted with the disrespect the media has for our children. They’ll let any sort of commercial glide and if my kids and I are huddled around the TV watching a football game or what is the best choice for a family tree show, the network will still manage to promote sex, alcohol, and killing about 5 times in every commercial break. You know, it’s really sad! After War of the Worlds in 1938 for a time the Government insured that ANYTHING that went over the air was approved. Obviously that was a terrible thought – goodbye freedom of speech ..so it didn’t take long for us to realize that and so we came up with the solution of policing ourselves with the FCC. They did an outstanding job for reasonably awhile. But now, is it just me – or do the publishers and the broadcasters just not get it! They really don’t give a damn about our children or our values and will do what it takes to shock and awe. They have lost their soul, dignity, and respect in so many ways, but sadly they have no concept of duty or the need for values that they could help give our young kids. I DO blame society for many of our current ills, and I easily start with the dregs in the entertainment and publishing business that allow this to take place. OK – now – why the beef? This is an outstanding book! It’s a fantastic read and really fun! I reflect everyone would agree it’s for kids and probably the ages of 7 on up to 12. Why in the “hell” (to throw my learned media spew out) is the word “bastard” hidden in the book on one page!!! Is it necessary!!!!!!!??? Come on! Who’s the moronic inconsiderate editor that is probably a free spirit that doesn’t have a clue about her audience and …WAIT a minute….who may in fact have a clue … that’s the sad truth of it all .. yes, may in fact know that her young audience will learn the offensiveness and that it would help promote the book within the circles of the young. The person who doesn’t give a damn about what is morally right or incorrect for our children and certainly doesn’t respect me or my kids. Yeah, I have the right to not read it. That’s not my point. My point is why would I be able to type something like this about a book that is otherwise wonderful. Come on people! Get mad and demand the changes. Stuff like this … as tiny as it is .. is indeed a very tiny part of the problem that we face with the decay of our values and all that was decent with America, when we cared for others more than we cared for a buck. Read the book – it’s fantastic – but get mad too. It’s got to stop. Final thought – as my 8 year ancient so wisely place it, “Just because we kids aren’t supposed to read that kind of stuff doesn’t mean it’s alright for adults either – after all dad, we’re all God’s children”. Wish the media were as wise.

I had to read this book in fifth grade with my class. Honesty, who want to read a book in which every chapter he describes what he place on the worms that he ate???? Certainly not a name who’s stomache lurches at the mention of mustard and pepper on a fried worm!!!!!!!!!
