(2) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Bliss. Brief, pithy diary entries record the ups and downs of a worm's life at home, in the classroom, and hanging out with his pal Spider. Cronin places her protagonist in situations that every kid can relate to ("I forgot my lunch today"), then adds a humorous twist specific to worms ("I ate my homework"). Bliss's whimsical illustrations add fun to a story that also includes a gentle message about ecology.
