Bookworm is a character in Toy Story 3.
Toy Story 3[]
Bookworm is an intelligent worm toy with a built-in flashlight.
He keeps a "library" of sorts in a closet at Sunnyside Daycare which holds instruction manuals for many different toys, including Buzz Lightyear. He gives Lotso a manual to reset Buzz, allowing Lotso to make Buzz one of his cohorts (as well as returning Buzz to when he thought he was a real space ranger in the first Toy Story movie).
Later, after Woody returns to rescue his friends and bring them back to Andy's house, Bookworm is seen again, handing "Spacesuit Ken" (unaware that it's really Barbie in disguise) a Buzz Lightyear manual, he reacts with disgust when he discovers that "Ken" is actually wearing high heels.
During the credits, after Lotso is removed from Sunnyside, Bookworm is seen happily illuminating a disco ball with his flashlight as the daycare toys have a disco in the Butterfly Room.

Trivia[]
- Bookworm appears to have been based on the Glo Worm toy line of the 1980s.
- Bookworm's glasses are somewhat similar to Mr. Skipperdoo's.
- Lotso seems to disapprove, if not dislike, Bookworm. This can be seen when Bookwork tosses Buzz Lightyear's manual at Lotso's feet, Lotso gives him a somewhat disapproving glance. This may also imply that Bookworm does not enjoy being part of Lotso's Gang.
- Bookworm is the third Pixar character voiced by Richard Kind, after Molt and Van.
