Reissue (1961, Astor)
(2) K-3 Lionni's mixed-media compositions illustrate the story of a little inchworm who measures the neck of a flamingo, beak of a toucan, etc. Sensing danger from the nightingale, he quietly inches himself out of sight. The lovely colors, sharp definition of cutouts against white space, rhythm of the composition, and simplicity of the whole make for a handsome book.
