Diary of a Worm (Joanna Cotler, 2003) by Doreen Cronin

This is the diary ... of a worm. This worm lives with his parents, plays with his friends and even goes to school. But unlike you or me, he never has to take a bath, he gets to eat his homework and, because he doesn't have legs, he just can't do "The Hokey Pokey" – no matter how hard he tries. This hysterical picture book by New York Times best-selling author Doreen Cronin and New York Times best-selling illustrator Harry Bliss tells the daily doings of a small worm in a gigantic worm world. An iParenting Media Award Winner!
