“To repay you with kindness, I promise I will always protect you.“

I would use “The Lion and the Mouse“ in my classroom to discuss the importance of being kind, loving, and keeping promises to others. I would also use this book to help my students how to understand and identify lessons and morals present within stories.

“The Lion and the Mouse“ is a traditional literature example of a fable, which is a brief story that is meant to teach a lesson and usually concludes with a moral. This book teaches the lesson and moral of kindness and love prevailing over everything.

“The mouse was happy that she could finally repay her debt for sparing her life once.“

This book is important to teach in a class because it highlights how being nice benefits everyone. The mouse is about to be killed, but they promise the lion to save them or repay the favor. This benefits the lion as well because when he is trapped the mouse is the one who saves him by gnawing at the ropes.

This is an original Greek story of a lion that confronts a mouse and the mouse pleads and promises that they will repay the lion later. Later in the story, the lion is trapped and the mouse comes straight to the rescue and promises to get the lion out as long as he will not eat him. It ends well with the mouse saving the lion and shows the importance of being nice.

This is a wordless book filled with sounds that happen as the pictures are shown. These pictures can be interpreted by the readers. This would be a good book to read to younger elementary to teach them about kindness and helping others.

“The Lion and the Mouse“ is a fable. A fable is meant to teach a lesson to the reader. In this lesson, they usually conclude with a moral. This fable is used to teach the lesson of kindness.

Blurb:
I can use this book to teach a lesson to my students and to introduce a book that does not have many words, yet it tells a story and can be interrupted in different ways. I can then have my students go back to their tables and write what they think the moral of the story was and what they believe happened in the book.

Review:
This book is an example of traditional literature and fables to be more exact. It is a fable because it is supposed to teach a lesson to its readers.

The message of the story stood out to me because it was not what I initially anticipated. I thought the lion was going to try to capture the mouse and the mouse would hide, but that was not the case. The mouse seems helpless compared to the lion, but the small mouse ended up saving the lion.

This book has very little to no words, and is told through the illustrations. A mouse is running from an owl, but ends up in the hands of a lion but escapes away back to their family. The lion then gets swept up into a rope trap that was set out, and the mouse comes running and starts eating the rope strings to set the lion free, and brings back the rope for the mouse family to play with.

The lion and the mouse, published in 2011 had little to no words and was very similar to the previous book I read. Both having the same authors and we‘re very similar. They showed nature very well in the illustrations.

“Was I not right‘ said the little mouse”

This book is a classic tale of never underestimate someone. This book can be read to kids of any age group. It is thoroughly enjoyable, and no matter what can be called a classic novel.

“One day I will repay your kindness. If you ever need help, send for me.”

This is a cute story that lets children know they each have special qualities!

Lion and the Mouse is a traditional literature story written by Aesop. It is an old fable that continues to be retold. The characters are a lion and a mouse. Each animal has its own strengths and weaknesses.

“A change in circumstances can make the strong weak and the weak, strong.”

Traditional. This is a story for young children, it‘s simple and easy to follow and still teaches a lesson. It‘s a perfect book to read to a classroom and is perfect for children who may not feel as through they are the strongest.

The Lion and the Mouse, and Aesop fable illustrated by Ed Young, 1979. This story is short and sweet with illustrations that match perfectly to the tale. A wonderful lesson about circumstance and being strong and weak is told through this story which makes it a wonderful and useful traditional tale.
