Four time winner of New York Times Best Illustrated Award, Jerry Pinkney has now recreated for us one of aesop's fables about a friendship between a mouse and a lion. The timeless story is one in which has no worlds, except for the ever so often use of a descriptive sound. Younger friends will have to interpret the brilliant works of art showing an odd relationship between a king of the jungle and a mouse. This picture book starts out with a giant and dangerous lion sparing the tiny powerless mouse of his dinner, which the mouse later repay’s by saving the king out of a dangerous hunters trap by nibbling and clawing down the ropes. Through out the story the author and illustrator uses a breathtaking array of colors to create a telling tale.
