Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed reading this book because the characters represent something deeper than a lion and a mouse. The lion is kind to the mouse, so the mouse returns the favor. I think students could gain a good lesson from this kindness.

This is an example of a fable. This story is about a mouse who is frightened by an owl and in running away he runs into a lion. The lion set the mouse free and the mouse goes home to tell his family about his adventure. The lion is then walking through the jungle when he is captured by rope. The mouse then returns the favor by chewing through the rope and setting the lion free.

“I will not spare you today!“ The weak mouse, afraid, begged for mercy before the lion, “Please forgive me, Lord. If you let me go, someday, I will repay you for your kindness. I will do my best to help you!“

The moment when the mouse decides to help the lion out of the net even when the lion wanted to eat the mouse at the beginning.

This book is a fable. This story has a meaningful lesson within the story. The lion and mouse meet and the lion wants to eat the mouse but he allows the mouse to be spared. Then the lion gets caught in a net and the mouse comes back to check out the situation. Then the lion asks the mouse for help to get out of the net so then the mouse chews his way through the net to free the lion and then they become best friends.

This is a good morning meeting book or a good book to use as an introduction to morals and themes of stories since the theme is mostly straightforward. After reading and introducing the concept of a theme, you could prompt the students to share their ideas for what they believe the theme is of this story.

When a lion is trapped in a net, his only hope for escape is a small mouse. Although the lion is helpless while trapped, the mouse is hesitant to free the lion in fear of being eaten once the beast is free. The book's theme of kindness and love for all creatures makes this an enduring tale for children of all ages. This Aesop's fable is brough to life with illustrations by Jerry Pinkney.

I really enjoyed this story! I found that despite having words, the illustrations did a phenomenal job at telling the story singlehandedly. I feel that this story could be well utilized in young elementary classrooms. I believe it would allow children the opportunity to write their own storyline that they depict based upon the illustrations presented. This would give children the power to use their own logical reasoning and inference skills.

This story is an example of a fable which is a specific type of traditional literature. It highlights the interactions between a mouse and a lion. The overall moral lesson that this story shares is that kindness in never wasted. In the story the lion spares the mouse's life. Then when the lion is found to be stuck in a dangerous situation the mouse returns the favor and helps save the lion's life.

This book would be great to use in the classroom with new or struggling readers because of its limited use of words in the story. It would be a great book to use in a morning meeting because of the huge moral that it teaches, while also not requiring a lot of brain power at the beginning of the day.

The Lion and the Mouse is a fable that teaches about the morals of love, kindness, and trust. Although there are not many words, it teaches the moral through the detailed illustrations. It can also be described as a Beast tale, because of the way the animals are the main characters and how they are described.

“Scratch, Scratch” this quote shows the kind deed that the mouse has to the lion.

I think that this book is good but I think it could be confusing. Since there are not many words younger students might not be able to follow along as to what is happening. However, it may be good to be able to see other students perspectives of this book.

The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pickney. Fable. The moral of the story is that kindness and love overcome all. This book is mostly wordless so the illustrations are deep and thorough so that the reader can understand the plot. This story is about a lion who gets caught in a trap and he calls out for help. The only animal that comes to help is the mouse who helps him as long as the lion doesn‘t eat him.

“GRRRRR“

This fable would be perfect to use in a classroom of young children because the lesson is simple and important for children to use in life. This could be used early on in the school year to cover the concept of kindness in the classroom.

I can use this book in the classroom to teach students the importance of friendship and showing kindness. This book teaches an important lesson that students would love to hear.

The Lion and the Mouse“ is a story about a lion who spares a tiny mouse's life. Later, the mouse helps the lion when it's in trouble. It teaches us that even small acts of kindness can lead to big rewards. The illustrations in this book are phenomenal. I will use this in my classroom.

This is a great book to read with your students because it is a wordless picture book. In a way, the kids get to tell their own story. They will understand the way the story goes but they get to add to it and create their own words using their imagination.

“Who who whoooo. Screeeeech. Grrrrrrrrr.“

The Lion and the Mouse was written and published by Jerry Pinkney in 1988. The wordless picturebook is about a small mouse in the Serengeti in Africa who accidentally wakes up a sleeping lion. The lion chooses to let the mouse go free, much to her surprise and joy. Later, after the lion has been captured in a poacher's net, the mouse gnaws through the rope and releases the lion in exchange.

This image shows the part where the lion lets the mouse go- and how later this brings good luck to the lion because the mouse comes and rescues it. It allows for the reader to see how being kind to everyone can bring you good karma in the future.

This book can be an awesome follow-up book to reading a version of “The Lion and the Mouse“ with words. It offers up another perspective and can get students to look deeper into the illustrations.

This classic Aesop tale “The Lion and the Mouse“ was published in 2009 and was illustrated by Jerry Pinkney was given the Caldecott medal in 2010. It is a wordless book and relies on the images to speak to the readers. However, because it is a classic tale some students may already know what it is about but with others the illustrations still do a really good job with telling the story.

The illustrations in this book is absolutely phenomenal and breathtaking. This story doesn‘t need any words because you get all the emotion from the illustrations alone.

This book has no words, only onomatopoeias. Even though this book has no words it tells a strong story of friendship among 2 unlikely friends. This is a good story about how being nice and doing good for others, good things will happen for you in return.

I like the way this book shows something so small is able to help someone bigger. This shows kids a great message.

Fortunately the lion was feeling generous so he let the mouse escape from him

I love Aesop fables because they teach important themes in ways that children have to determine it on their own.

Mouse and Lion tells a story about kindness and how showing someone grace and kindness can help you in the future. Lion let mouse free, and later Mouse came and helped to set Lion free to get away from the poachers.

This would be a good book to use to see how well children can pick up the theme of a story without any words.

In this adaptation of the story of the Lion and the Mouse, Jerry Pinkney decides to use pictures to a tell the tale. I found this to be an interesting approach to telling the tale, but Pinkney does an excellent job portraying the story this way. The illustrations are well done, hence why it won the Caldecott Award.

★★★★★

This is so cute. There are few words, so easy for kiddos to follow along and understand themselves, and also shows themes of friendship in unexpected ways. Would be good for the first week or month of school to help build classroom community.

The Lion captures the Mouse and wants to eat it! He then lets her go, based on how cute she is. The Lion continues on his adventures to find something to eat, meanwhile, there are hunters putting traps everywhere. The Lion get captured and is hanging from a rope net in the trees. Before the hunters come back, the Mouse chews the Lion free from the net and they are friends.

Beautiful tale with stunning illustrations.

Traditional. This wordless adaption of one of Aesops fables tells the story of an unlikely pairing a mouse and a lion. The tale teaches us about kindness and how one act of kindness can go a long way and no act of kindness is ever a wasted act.
