Summary: If you're a fan of Far Side cartoons you can't go past this
Comment: A classic Larson tale from the Far Side world where animals have human traits. There' a Hair in my Dirt may be written in children's story book style but it's definitely not just for kids. No matter how old you are, you'll love this.
A worm is fed up with being a worm and complains to his parents at the dinner table. His father then tells a tale of life in the forrest following a young maiden named Harriet who loves the magic of nature.
Of course nothing is as it first seems in the Larson world and like many of his Far Side human characters Harriet isn't the brightest and doesn't understand the consequences of her actions. That's all I'll say about the story, telling more would give it away.
Excellent Far Side style illustrations throughout make this a sensational book. Look closely at each page and discover Far Side type activities amongst the animals. Some situations have not seen before in his Far Side cartoons. There's a fawn scaring its friend by wearing a hunter's mask, a bird cooking eggs on the stove disgusting his wife and a hawk carrying off a poodle. If you're a fan of Far Side cartoons you can't go past owning this book.

Summary: Goofy
Comment: When the worm family (Father Worm, Mother Worm, and Junior Worm) sits down to dinner, Junior makes a horrible discovery: there's a long golden hair in his dirt. This is the last straw, if it's not birds trying to eat them or fishermen trying to put them on hooks, it's dirt for three meals a day, and now THIS! Puffing thoughtfully on his pipe, Father begins to unravel a story to Junior, a story about a beautiful (if rather stupid) young maiden named Harriet, and her adventures in the forest. There's a lesson for Junior, a lesson that makes him glad that he's a worm.
Gary Larson is a well-known artist, famous for his Far Side cartoons, and who but him could make a wonderful, uplifting story about worms? OK, it's pretty kooky. Make sure you study each picture, because Gary slipped something extra into most of them. This is a goofy story, one that will please anyone with an offbeat sense of humor. I highly recommend it, it's great!

Summary: Enjoyable but not for small children
Comment: I really enjoyed this book, however, I don't think it is appropriate for small children. I thought the title sounded funny, but the subject matter was just way over my kids' heads. Great book for an older kid, though. Maybe ages 12 - 15.
