The Lion and the Mouse

The Lion and the Mouse is a fable about doing great things and helping others regardless of size and strength.  It illustrates how even the very small and meek can do great things. It is told from the perspective of a child observing the world and learning from it. In this truly unique series, Aesop is that child. He comes to life as an inquisitive, confident young raccoon who goes on a daily adventure and experiences each fable as it unfolds. Aesop's grandmother encourages him to go on these adventures and eagerly awaits his return. They share the message of each fable where Aesop's grandmother validates his conclusions. 


This fable is from Book 2 of Aesop's Childhood Adventures series. 

A common core teacher's guide is also available for books 1 & 2.
