As part of their 'Famous British Authors' project, the students at Clarkehouse Centre have been given their own pet bookworm. The bookworm arrived in a box today with the following label attached:
This week we will be deciding on a name for the bookworm... watch this space!"Bookworm (Peskius Bookwormus)
The bookworm is a common pest found in libraries and other places where books are stored.
The bookworm is flat and brown. It can grow up to the size of a large book, such as an atlas, and will eat up to one book per day when fully grown. The bookworm’s favourite food seems to be dictionaries.
It is usually a very secretive creature and will cleverly hide in the most boring books. However, it can be spotted by its droppings which are made up of undigested longer words."
