Can the Boys Escape the Nightingale?

A nightingale can be pretty scary…if you’re an inchworm!
After reading the Book of the Week—Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni—Allister, Elliott, and Max put themselves in the inchworm’s shoes and imagine how they would escape the nightingale from the story.
Watch the student-friendly video with your class to get kids excited to read this timeless and award-winning picture book. Ask students to make their own guesses about how the inchworm will (or won’t) get away, then read Inch by Inch together to discover what really happens!
How would your students get away from the nightingale? We’d love to hear from you! Please share with the Scholastic Book Clubs community on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs.
