Bookroo's summary
A clever inchworm faces a daunting challenge: measure a nightingale's song or become its meal. As he cleverly measures various animals, the stakes rise with each encounter. Can he outsmart the nightingale and save himself? Discover the inchworm's ingenious solution in this delightful tale of wit and survival.
From the publisher
To keep from being eaten, an inchworm measures a robin’s tail, a flamingo’s neck, a toucan’s beak, a heron’s legs, and a nightingale’s song.
