The Lion and the Mouse Audiobook

" This is a Caldecott Medal winner, with no words, and phenomenal art! These kinds of books are wonderful for kids, because they have to try to figure out the story themselves. My five-year-old grandson and I had a blast guessing what was coming next. And by the way, this is not the traditional fable! "

" Stunning. A book you can read over and over...even if it doesn't have WORDS. "

" Terrific as a part of a traditional literature lesson. "

" I'm not a fan of the watercolor style of the illustrations - though they are excellently done. This is a great book for children to tell to themselves because there are no words. "

" This book has beautiful watercolor illustrations! In this story, a lion decides to release the mouse that later saves his life. The pictures come to life, and words are not necessary to tell this tale. All it simply needs are the animal sounds. "

" This is a wordless book that shows, through artistic pictures, the relationship between a strong lion and a little mouse. The lion lets the mouse leave after he trapped him. The mouse convinced him that he can be useful is many ways. The lion does not really believe him, however one day the lion was trapped by hunters, and his only hope to escape is brought by his friend the mouse. Gr. PK-1 "

" The illustrations tell the story, the only words are animal sounds. The book starts off with the mouse walking around and then is suddenly and unknowingly on the back of a lion. There is a beautiful illustration of the lion and the mouse after the lion picks up the mouse. All the other animals are surprised that the lion let mouse go, but when poachers catch the lion it is the mouse who breaks him free while all the other animals watch. It is a very precious story. "

" Wow, we loved it. NO WORDS in the book, or even on the cover. Amazing illustrations that told the fable beautifully. "

" Great illustrations to accompany the mostly wordless Aesop's fable. Good discussion generator for the preschool set. FUN! "

" I enjoyed the illustrations. This was one of the better illustrated books I have seen. The illustrations will help students make predictions. "

" Gorgeous illustrations tell a the classic story of the lion and the mouse without text. "

" This is a wonderful pictorial re-telling of the fable with lush watercolors by Pinkney. "

" Wordless picture book. Can use it for a mini lesson to introduce synthesizing. Also use for the theme of friendship. "

" AMAZING ILLUSTRATIONS. Enough said. BUY BUY BUY!!! "

" I think the illustrations are great in this book! This book is great to have students create the stories using the clues!! "

" Early childhood "

" This was a lot of fun to read to Piper because I got to tell the story. Pinkney's illustrations do such a good job of showing the familiar fable, that the reader can use his/her own words to tell the tale. Pre-readers will enjoy being able to tell the story themselves as well. "

" A wonderful "retelling" of Aesop's story, but with no words at all. The illustrations tell this tale impeccably and beautifully. "

" Beautifully illustrated, deserving of the Caldecott! "
