The Lion and the Mouse

Description

Review This exquisite book is inspired by Kenya's Serengeti, and from its end pieces, teeming with animals, to its close-ups of life as seen by mice and insects, it is a golden gift. * The Times * Wordless, but carefully sequenced pictures convey Aesop's fable beautifully . . . Readers will be enchanted by the magnificent golden palette and varying sizes of illustration, experiencing anew the traditional tale. * Carousel * About the Author Jerry Pinkney is one of today's best-loved children's book makers.
