This book is a tale I have heard befor.It is one of my favorite tales in the world!I like it even though it has no words in it. This book has won a Caldecott meddle.This book is about a lion and a mouse who make a deal for the lion not to eat the mouse and the mouse to do something for the lion in return . The illustrations tell the story very well and if you like books with no words this is a good book for you and I give thumbs up.👍🏻
