About This Book

A clever inchworm avoids being eaten by a robin by proving how useful he is - he can measure anything, from a flamingo's neck to a toucan's beak. But when a nightingale demands that he measure her song, the resourceful inchworm must use his wits to escape. Leo Lionni's elegant collage illustrations bring this clever fable to life.

Why We Love This

It's a wonderful introduction to measurement and problem-solving wrapped in a charming story, and kids love cheering for the tiny inchworm as he outsmarts the birds.
