Funny, but I've seen this plot device more times than I can count. There isn't anything really special to set it apart. Fine for learning to read.

A funny story for kids to learn about how stories can be misunderstood.

This is an entertaining story that is very similar to Henny Penny. The narrative is short and fun to read aloud and the illustrations are vibrant and cartoonish. We enjoyed reading an ebook version of this story on our iPad.

This is a "Step 2" book meaning it's for preschool to 1st Grade and has basic vocabulary, short sentences, and a simple story.

I thought the book was funny when all the animals were hiding from a monster but there really wasn't a monster.

Inchworm confuses everyone about whether a monster has come.
