In this Caldecott Medal-winning, wordless picture book, one of America's most acclaimed artists retells one of Aesop's best-loved fables. The fable is a favourite and familiar one: a mouse inadvertently disturbs a lion, who lets the mouse go ...and is later himself freed by the mouse from a poacher's trap. With art inspired by the Kenyan Serengeti, Jerry Pinkney's jaw-droppingly gorgeous interpretation is irresistible, its wealth of visual detail offering huge scope for the pages to be turned and the story retold over and over again.

在这本令人惊艳的无字书中，杰瑞．平克尼重新诠释了一个深受世人喜爱的「伊索寓言」故事－－〈狮子与老鼠〉，书中两个原本不可能成为朋友的角色，学会了「勿以善小而不为」。

一头凶猛的大狮子放走了一只不起眼的小老鼠，而这只小老鼠后来反倒从猎人的陷阱中救出了狮子。平克尼用铅笔、水彩和色铅笔细腻的描绘出非洲大草原的明媚风光，并且生动传神的表现了动物的姿态与表情，这一幅幅惊人的画作赋予这个讲述勇气与仁慈的经典故事重新的意义。
