This story was not at all what I was expecting. For one, it has hardly any words, yet the pictures are so vivid and well drawn that it doesn’t really lose any meaning. It’s basically a fable told through pictures. The lion spares the mouse’s life and when the lion gets caught in a poacher net, the mouse chews through the rope to save him. The other thing I wasn’t expecting was the fact that no title was present on the front or back cover. One side was of the lion and the other of the mouse. It’s hard to tell the front of the book until you open it and find the title page. Also according to the authors note on the back flap, this is one book in a series of fables told through pictures. This would be a great book to get elementary kids practicing inferencing or making predictions.
