Burkert, Rand Mouse & Lion, illustrated by Nancy Burkert. Scholastic, 2011. $18.
Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.
Retold from Aesop’s Fable. After startling Lion awake, Mouse talks his
way out of punishment by offering to help Lion some day. Lion laughs and lets him go. Years later, Lion really does need Mouse’s
help. The Burkett’s have crafted a sweet
just slightly altered version of the original and illustrated it with beautiful
watercolors that capture the essence of the African savanna. Perfect to read aloud and share.
