Readers who will like this: Anyone who has heard the story of the lion and the mouse; People with wild imaginations; Individuals who need a reminder on what it is to be kind
Response/Rating: 4; this book details the story that I remember from my own childhood. I have always seen a bit of karma being in this book, as the lion lets the mouse go-the mouse is then able to help the lion. This book just goes to prove the importance on the idea that we all affect one another.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What is something nice you have done for someone? Did it affect you at all later in time?
