2010 Caldecott Medal Winner
Wordless Picture Book
Pinkney, J. (2009). The lion & the mouse. New York: Little, Brown and Co. Books For Young Readers.
The Lion & the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney, a beautiful wordless picture book is an adaptation of the famous Aesop's fable. Looking at the wonderful illustrations, one can easily see why it was the Caldecott Winner in 2010. From the landscape to the expressive looks on the character's faces, this story will draw you in, literally. An act of kindness leads to an unlikely pair. The lion spares the mouse and then in return the mouse is able to help the lion out of the poacher's trap. What a wonder lesson taught through vivid and wonderful illustrations.
