Amazon.com Review
How to Eat Fried Worms has happily repulsed children since its original publication in 1973. Now youngsters can experience this classic story in a whole new yucky way, by listening to it on audiocassette. Narrator Jay O. Sanders gives extra kick and vitality to this already lively yarn. He throws himself into the role of a 10-year-old 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 fat juicy grubs in a variety of appetizing ways--drenched in ketchup and mustard, fried in butter and cornmeal, and the piece de resistance, 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 concocted from the mind of the book's author, Thomas Rockwell. "Trout, Salmon, flounder, perch,
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
Product Description
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.

The best book ever!! May 9, 2008
How to eat Fried Worms
Do you want to hear about the world's best book? Well, I will tell you about the book if you read. I read the book 'How to Eat Fried Worms'. I will tell you about the book, my favorite character, why I like it and why you should read it.
A boy named Billy and his friends had a bet that Billy cannot eat 15 worms in 15 days. If Billy wins the bet he gets $50. But if his friends win, Billy has to pay $50. Billy has to eat fried, boiled and mashed worms. One time Billy's friends treid to trick Billy, but her did not get tricked. My favorite character is Billy, because he is a person who tries new stuff, like he is eating worms. Plus, I like how he acts. He acts like he could do it becuase he said, " It is going to be easy".
The reason I liked this book is because it was disgusting and cool. It will make you curious about what will happen next. you should read book because it is differnt and interesting. If you are a person who likes gross stuff you should really read the book. I told you all I know about the book. I hope you read it. I know you will like it.
