Summary:
the Lion and the Mouse Retold by Jerry Pinkney is a traditional animal story tale about an unlikely pair that learn that everyone needs help sometimes. This version is the picture only version of Aesop's fable where the king of the jungle spares the life of a small mouse. In turn, the mouse ends up saving the lions life when he is caught by poachers.
Evaluation:
This is my favorite version of the classic tale. The reader is free to use their own words to retell the story of the Lion and the Mouse. Pinkney's illustrations are out of this world! My daughter loves this book because she is able to follow a pictorial story line and tell her version of the fable.
