The Lion and the Mouse

My daughter when she was 2, and now my son, love this book. Its a few words with perfect illustration to help children understand the story in the simplest way with a perfect moral ending. Highly recommend this buy.

We bought this, amid a slew of others for our four-year old daughter as she was learning to read. We have this classic Aesop's tale in a longer format, and it's one I've always been fond of, and I rather hoped that the brevity of an early reader variation wouldn't spoil it. The pleasant surprise is that this story, with far fewer words, a much simpler selection of words than most other variations, and a fair amount of repetition, is absolutely as sweet and enjoyable as any other I've read. Perhaps more so. The story is carried beautifully by the illustrations. Though I am not always a fan of McCue's art, it is spot on in this case. And of course, my daughter can -- and does read this book by herself. It's a great thrill to hear her reading to her younger sister as while we're out running errands or are making the hour-long trek to grandma's house. These books have become car-time favorites. In short, I highly recommend this book -- and others in this series. They really are a great tool for introducing children to reading and building confidence in their newfound literary skills.

Storyboard is a known tale. The words are simple and easy to understand. My son was so excited when we were reading it. A nice moral story for children. Appreciating it.

El tipico cuento de amistad ilustrado con hermosas imagenes. La calidad y el tamaño son buenos para niños lo recomiendo.
