Kindness, Size
Pinkney, Jerry. The Lion & the Mouse. Illus by Jerry Pinkney. Little, Brown, and Company, 2009, unp. Pre-K, Primary.
A mouse, who has been let go by a Lion out instead of eaten, returns to help the Lion out of a poacher’s net in the African Serengeti. The cool colors of the soft and comforting watercolor and color pencil illustrations give us an affectionate rendition of Aesop’s Fable of kindness and showing that size doesn’t matter.
Activity: Discuss/ Write about a time when you did a good deed and how it made you feel.
