Awards Won: Caldecott Medal Winner (2010), ALA Notable Children Book (2010), School Library Top 100 Picture Books #37, Parent’s Choice Gold Award Winner (2009) Review Pinkney’s artful retelling uses no words to convey this classic tale for children of all ages. The few words which are contained are the animal sounds as they carry on their story. This book wonderfully shows that even the smallest can lend a helping hand, and that sometimes the largest most powerful among us needs help. Themes Kindness Animals Helping Others Application The illustrations of the book and absence of words provide ample opportunities for young readers. Kirchoff (2013) in her review notes that “The book lacks any substantial narrative, which allows the young reader to fully engage in the illustrations.” Librarians can ask students to tell the story about lion and mouse using only the illustrations this can engage both early and advanced readers to the story.
