The Lion and the Mouse: Aesop's Fables

Instead of eating the little mouse who wakes him from his nap, the lion in this tale laughs when the mouse promises to help him one day, and lets him go free. But the mouse does indeed prove his worth, when the lion gets caught in a hunter's net. One of the best-known tales attributed to Aesop, «The Lion and the Mouse» is presented in this board book for prereaders with Martha Lightfoot's simple and charming painted cartoons and her humorous retelling, ideal for reading aloud.
