An inchworm meets an unusual measuring challenge

A small green inchworm makes measuring his particular skill, sizing up features such as a robin’s tail and a flamingo’s neck. The challenge changes when a nightingale asks him to measure something less tangible: its song. That shift gives the story’s measuring premise a playful problem to solve, while the tiny hero’s appearances on each page invite close looking. The book brings together animal details, measurement, and a test of the inchworm’s cleverness without requiring the story to stay with ordinary lengths and sizes.

Book overview

The Caldecott Honor winning classic about a brave and clever little worm from beloved picture book creator Leo Lionni.

A small green inchworm is proud of his skill at measuring anything--a robin's tail, a flamingo's neck, a toucan's beak. Then one day a nightingale threatens to eat him if he cannot measure his song. Children will enjoy the clever inchworm's solution and delight in finding the tiny hero on every page.

Every inch the classic, this was the first of Lionni's books to win the Caldecott Honor.
