The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney - ESSENTIAL


Pinkney, Jerry, The Lion and the Mouse, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. 2009. PICTURE BOOK.

Sometime even a king needs help from little friends.

Pinkney does a fantastic job of “retelling” this traditional fable of the Lion and the Mouse. The pictures are exquisite and have such amazing intricate detail put into them. The lion is shown as being a compassionate creature, not just someone looking for a quick meal or who believes only in his superiority. This book is a must-have for any public or elementary-school library.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL.
