Love the illustrations. The story is alright - I just wish that it had given more time to the friendships that "developed" between the lion and the mouse. The original Aesop's fable is better and while this one is not really that same story, it echoes it. Just read the original though.

Fun to read aloud, but kind of saccharine.

Cute. Good Roaring, great Eeeeek and I like the pictures. The message is solid, as well -- if you want things to change, first look and see how you can change -- heh, the book does a better job than I did.
