The Lion and the Mouse (Caldecott)

I read the Lion and the Mouse as one of my Caldecott award winning books. The book is illustrated by Jerry Pinkney and is wordless. The book teaches that what goes around comes around. In the beginning a lion spares a mouse's life instead of eating him and later in the book the mouse comes to his rescue to save him from a poachers trap. The illustrations in this book are really amazing and expressive and I think the visuals are really great. This is a great book for younger kids and teaches a really great lesson about the way you should treat others. It isn't hard to see why its an award winner. I would definitely suggest this book for younger kids.
