“Nipple nipple, little mouse, who is nibbling at my house”

Again I won‘t use a brothers Grimm book in the classroom even with other child because they are very dark book. However there are kid friendly versions of this story out there but the story is still pretty dark.

this book was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. I got this one from the library and it wasn't quite what I thought it was. It is different than the copy I have at home as it's more kid friendly. however I still don't know if I would have it in my classroom

Traditional literature

This story is wonderful to teach students about the dangers of being overconfident and the fact that even if someone says they‘re better than you it doesn‘t make it true.

“Slow and steady wins the race.”

What a great book for all ages of readers! Pinkney‘s wordless format allows readers to immerse themselves in the visuals, capturing the essence of the tale through expressive imagery. The narrative centers on the unlikely friendship between a mighty lion and a tiny mouse, highlighting themes of kindness that students could relate to.

Jerry Pinkney‘s “The Lion and the Mouse“ is a beautifully illustrated rendition of Aesop's classic fable. The artwork has rich colors and intricate details. Pinkney‘s wordless format allows readers to immerse themselves in the visuals. This adaptation not only honors the original fable but also invites readers to reflect on the power of compassion and the unexpected connections that can form between different beings.
