Mouse & Lion | 
Rand and Nancy Ekholm Burkert retell the classic Aesopian fable “The Lion and the Mouse“ in this delightful picture-book, set in the Aha hills on the border of Botswana and Namibia. The narrative here is engaging, fleshing out the interaction between mouse and lion in a convincing way, but it is the artwork that particularly stands out. I also appreciated the choice to put the mouse first in the title, as it is he who is the true hero of the tale.
