The Worm family loves being wormy. They're skinny--they're squiggly--they're very long--and they sing loud worm songs. They're nothing like their glossy, bossy, buggy neighbors. And the neighbors don't like that one bit. What are the Worms to do? Jump back into their skinny car and hope to find nicer neighbors somewhere else? Or stay put--and show the world the Glory of Worm? In a tale both warm and quirky, a family of merry, down-to-earth worms proves that being different is truly grand. They may not fit in, but they carry on, doing things they love with the family they love--and finally find some fuzzy-wuzzy neighbors who like them just as they are. Oh joy! They're Worms!

The Worm Family is very "wormy". They are long, and squirmy. They like to sing loud. They are very different from there bug neighbors. They neighbor are mean to them and the Worm family decides to move somewhere where they will not be judged by others. They try several places but always run into others who don't like them because they are different. Finally they find a worm family just like them and all goes well from then on out! There are lots of themes that can be discussed with this book such as family, self esteem, and worms. We would recommend this book for families to read and discuss together. This is a great story to illustrate that just because some one is not just like you that doesn't mean that they don't have feelings that can get hurt.
This book is totally whacky and really different. It's also very fun to read to a 3-year old. If you like Maurice Sendak (I'm thinking particularly of "Outside over There") or William Joyce (the "George" books), or even the "George and Martha" books, with their weird sense of humor, you'll love this one.
This book along with "Diary of a Worm" are great for children ages six to eight. They become very involved in the book and identify with members of the family. Austin and Miranda were thrilled with the books.
What a cute story! The book is durable and the illustrations are terrific. The book has a good moral lesson about how people can be different but that they can still get along.
