The Lion and the Mouse
by Jerry Pinkney
Summary: In this wordless retelling of an Aesop fable, an adventuresome mouse proves that even small creatures are capable of great deeds when he rescues the King of the Jungle.
The pictures in this book are fabulous, especially in depicting a ferocious lion. I have never seen this fable as a wordless book; in fact, even the front cover is wordless! This book is excellent for working with a child one on one to develop pre-reading skills. Adults, who may not be comfortable asking a child what is happening in a story they do not know themselves, may want to read this tale with words ahead of time.
