Inch by Inch

$11.90
Inch by Inch
Inch by Inch

Clever picture book about wit and survival

This is the kind of story kids remember for its simple brilliance: an inchworm who measures everything until he faces the impossible. Leo Lionni makes the challenge feel playful and tense at once, with a clever solution that feels deeply satisfying. It’s a lovely pick for children who enjoy gentle humor, problem-solving, and classic picture books with charm.

  • Caldecott Medal Nominee (1961)

Description

Can a song be measured? Meet a winning, winsome inchworm, proud of his ability to measure anything under the sun, from a robin's tail to a toucan's beak. When a hungry nightingale threatens to eat him for breakfast unless he can measure her song, the inchworm calls on his craft and skill to creatively solve the dilemma.
