The object of Bookworm is to be the first player or team to move your playing piece around the board from A to Z. However, it requires that you correctly answer questions based on children's literature from many different periods. While some of the questions seem rather obscure, for a literature lover, this game is a fun test of knowledge. But it primarily is designed for all ages. It also is an excellent tool to help young readers, and even non-readers to extract answers from text selections. You don't have to have read all or any of the books referenced to play. You don't even have to be a reader, so young children can play too, as long as there is a reader to help them.
