Bibliography: Pinkney, Jerry. The lion & the mouse. New York: Little, Brown and Co. Books for Young Readers, 2009. Print.
Annotation: This book is a picture book with only words that are the noises of animals. The story begins with a mouse that hides form a hooting owl. The mouse then finds himself on top of a strange object. Little did he know he was on a lion. The lion growls and the mouse squeaks. The lion lets the mouse go and the mouse tells other mice what occurred by squeaking. Within in the jungle there are poachers that capture the lion in a net. The mouse hears the lions roar and comes to his aid and scratches and nibbles away the net. The mouse heads home with a piece of the net and squeaks to other mice.

Readers: Beginning readers would love this book as well as children that like books with animals. Children that like to draw and enjoy picture books would also enjoy this book.
Rate/Response: 10 The illustrations in the book are phenomenal. I love how children can place their own story to the book.
Question: Who likes to draw? Are mice and lions normally friends?
