BOOKWORM

Book excerpt: If you have lived on this earth for any bit of time, it's safe to say you have seen a worm before. Maybe you have seen one in a fruit or in the garden, on a plant or in the soil. That is usually where worms live, after all. And as you may know, our story is about a worm. But this worm is special. This little worm once lived inside a book. I know it sounds strange at first. "Do books have worms like apple?" you might ask. You see, when a book gets very old, small worms slowly start to eat its pages. They are called bookworms.
