On the 4th Day of Christmas my librarian got me to read...


THE LION AND THE MOUSE
By Jerry Pinkney

Winner of the Caldecott Award 2010


In Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted. . With vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters, this book silently speaks volumes. It is best read slowly, feasting on each stunning picture.
