Description
The author provides young children with a fictional tale highlighting the importance of humility and the dangers of pride. In many ways, this story reads like a classic Aesop's fable, telling the tale of a little mouse who rises to great power and strength with a friend's help. He soon decides to use his new powers to terrorize creatures smaller than himself. This short but powerful story will expose young children to important and timeless moral principles in a way that is truly captivating. The book contains larger print, as well as a series of simple but effective two-color woodcut print illustrations. This Caldecott Medal book will work well as a read-aloud book to children below age seven, or as a supplemental reader for youngsters in grades two or three. Recommended by Beautiful Feet Books. 32 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
