Little Red Riding Hood is a traditional Grimm story. Little Red learns her lessons to keep her promises, to stay on the path, to mind her manners, and to avoid talking to big, bad wolves; lessons parents still try to teach their children many generations after the Brothers Grimm first recorded this story. They wrote so many fairy tale stories that were orally told from generation to generation, but never recorded on book. So the Grimm brothers decided to write them down and put them together to create an anthology.

Tom, Billy, Allen and Joe are best friends, but that friendship is put to the test when Alan challenges Billy to eat 15 worms in 15 days. If he does it, Allen will give Billy $50. If he doesn't, well, Allen gets to call Billy a chicken for the rest of his life. The rules are simple: Billy can prepare the worm any way he wants, and he can glop as much ketchup and mustard on the worm as he likes, but if he misses a day, he loses the bet. How To Eat Fried Worms is a wriggly little work of youth fiction full of lively characters, hilarious situations and punchy, quirky dialogue. I reead this book when i was in the 3rd grade and liked it.
