Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that the world doesn't always fit into neat, whole numbers. It is perfect for the moment a child asks what happens when something is bigger than one but smaller than two. This charming garden tale follows a diligent inchworm who takes pride in measuring the vegetables in his garden, only to realize he needs a little help from smaller friends when a cucumber doesn't end on an even inch. Through bouncy rhyme and rich linocut illustrations, the story introduces the concept of fractions and measurement as a collaborative puzzle. It transforms a potentially dry math lesson into a journey of curiosity and teamwork. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's frustration when things don't fit perfectly, while offering a clever, visual solution that celebrates the 'half' and the 'quarter' as essential parts of the whole.
