The Lion and the Mouse
Genre: Traditional Literature
Awards: Caldecott Medal
Grade Level: Kindergarten- 4th Grade
The Lion and the Mouse, by Jerry Pinkney, is a wordless version of an Aesop Fable. In this book, a lion is about to eat a mouse. The lion decides to spare the mouse out of kindness. Shortly after the lion spares the mouse he is caught in a poachers trap. The mouse finds the lion and remembers when the lion spared him. Wanting to show to same kindness, the mouse decides to free the lion.
I would most likely use this book to teach about illustrations, due to it being a Caldecott Medal winner and the large amount of detail put into each illustration. Another way that this could be used in a classroom is to teach students about kindness.
