This is a stunning, wordless version of one of Aesop''s best-loved fables, from one of America''s most acclaimed artists. This Aesop''s fable is a favourite and familiar one: a mouse inadvertently disturbs a lion, who lets the mouse go...and is later himself freed by the mouse from a poacher''s trap. Jerry Pinkney''s jaw-droppingly gorgeous new wordless treatment is irresistible, its wealth of visual detail offering huge scope for the pages to be turned and the story retold over and over again. Spectacular. This title is a winner of the 2010 Caldecott Medal, the most prestigious award for children''s book illustration in the United States. It is one of the world''s favourite fables, retold exclusively in pictures and more eloquently than ever by a multi-award-winning artist. Words cannot express...
