本書是描述一隻聰明的毛毛蟲，利用他的身長(inch)，替各種不同的鳥類量長度而最後終於能免於被吃掉的命運。這同時也是一本開啟兒童數學概念相當好的讀物。適合5歲以上兒童閱讀。By the author-illustrator of Math Standard Caldecott Honor Book, Swimmy, this story is perfect for seasonal or measurement units, starring a worm who " inches his way out" of being eaten by a series of birds. " Arresting, beautifully colored…original and imaginative."--Booklist. Caldecott Honor Book. |
