About this ebook
In “Yuck’s Pet Worm,” Yuck has a new pet—a worm called Fang. “Worms are disgusting!” his sister Polly says. “You can’t have a worm in the house!” Mom says. But Yuck thinks worms are awesome! But when he trains Fang to do disgusting tricks, things start to wiggle out of control….
In “Yuck’s Rotten Joke,” Polly’s report card is full of stars for good behavior, while Yuck doesn’t have any. He needs to score some by the end of the week, or he’ll be in BIG TROUBLE. Using his collection of practical jokes—from itching powder to Dogididapoo—can Yuck make sure he has the last laugh?

Yuck's Pet Worm - Matt and Dave
Yuck was wriggling across the living room carpet. Polly Princess walked in.
That’s disgusting, Yuck,
she said.
Yuck was playing with a worm.
He laid his hand on the carpet and the worm wriggled between his fingers and up his arm.
He’s my pet,
Yuck said.
You can’t have a worm for a pet. Worms are disgusting,
Polly said.
Worms make great pets. His name’s Fang.
Polly sat on the sofa and opened her copy of Glitter Girl. Why can’t you have a normal pet like a bunny or a puppy or a pony? One you can feed or teach tricks or ride.
Fang wriggled over Yuck’s tummy.
I like worms,
Yuck said.
Fang wriggled into Yuck’s pocket.
Fang can do anything I tell him to.
Then tell him to go away,
Polly said.
You’re just jealous,
Yuck told her, wriggling out of the living room.
We’ll show her, Fang,
he whispered.
Yuck wriggled upstairs to the bathroom and grabbed the basket full of dirty laundry. He wriggled to Polly’s room and borrowed her recorder from her backpack. Then he wriggled to his bedroom and closed the door. Yuck placed the basket of laundry in the middle of his floor. He took the lid off and dropped Fang on top of the dirty clothes inside.
Fang wriggled through the pile of laundry.
Yuck picked up Polly’s recorder and sat cross-legged on the floor. He’d seen it done in a film—a snake charmer had hypnotized a snake.
Prepare to be hypnotized, Fang,
he whispered. He put the recorder to his lips and blew.
The recorder whistled.
I’m a worm charmer. Come out, come out,
Yuck called.
He blew harder.
The recorder squealed.
As Yuck played, the pile of laundry began to wriggle.
Yuck kept blowing, and from the top of the basket, a slimy pink head appeared.
Good boy, Fang,
he said.
As Fang heard the sound of the recorder, he wriggled farther up out of the laundry.
You are under my power,
Yuck whispered.
Yuck blew higher and higher notes on the recorder.
Fang rose higher out of the basket, standing tall, like he was being pulled by an invisible string.
