This beautiful wordless picture book retells Aesop's famous fable through stunning watercolor illustrations. It tells the story of a mighty lion who spares a tiny mouse, only to have the mouse return the favor by freeing the lion from a hunter's trap. The story shows that kindness is powerful and that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference. Jerry Pinkney's artwork brings the African savanna to life and allows readers to discover the story through pictures.
