Doreen Cronin

Why we picked it

Written as dated diary entries through the seasons, this hilarious book sneaks in the journal format while kids giggle at everyday worm dilemmas and observations.

Our review

Written as diary entries dated through the seasons, the book sneaks in the format of journals without feeling instructional. Kids giggle at everyday worm dilemmas—​PE class without arms!—​while absorbing voice, perspective, and sequence. Cartoony art invites them to start their own nature diaries. Ideal for first “writer’s-notebook” activities.
