The Lion & the Mouse | |
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 3—This story starts on the cover with the glorious, golden countenance of a lion. No text is necessary to communicate the title: the direction of the beast's gaze and the conflicted expression on his tightly cropped face compel readers to turn the book over, where a mouse, almost filling the vertical space, glances back. The endpapers and artist's note place these creatures among the animal families of the African Serengeti. Each spread contributes something new in this nearly wordless narrative, including the title opening, on which the watchful rodent pauses, resting in one of the large footprints that marches across the gutter. In some scenes, Pinkney's luminous art, rendered in watercolor and colored pencil, suggests a natural harmony, as when the cool blues of the sky are mirrored in the rocks and acacia tree. In other compositions, a cream-colored background focuses attention on the exquisitely detailed and nuanced forms of the two main characters. Varied perspectives and the judicious use of panels create interest and indicate time. Sounds are used sparingly and purposefully—an owl's hoot to hint at offstage danger or an anguished roar to alert the mouse of the lion's entrapment. Contrast this version with Pinkney's traditional treatment of the same story (complete with moral) in Aesop's Fables (North-South, 2000). The ambiguity that results from the lack of words in this version allows for a slower, subtle, and ultimately more satisfying read. Moments of humor and affection complement the drama. A classic tale from a consummate artist.—Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library END

不过书是裸着到的，我自己没有问题，挑剔的买家可能会介意吧，如果书商给加个套子就好了。
I checked this book out from the library. Wonderful pictures and very few words - mostly descriptive ("Screech"). My two year old grandson fell in love with the book. We read it every day and I am pretty sure his parents read it to him frequently too. The kid was very very disappointed, as only a two year old can be, when we had to return the book to the library. He spoke wistfully of his lion book and looked for it every time we went to the library, but it was always checked out. Luckily Christmas was coming and I ordered the lion book from Amazon. It takes us a long time to read the book because we have to pore over each page counting the lions and their cubs and the mouse's babies. The pages are amazing - they hold the little guy's interest and he is fascinated with the lion's plight in the net. I will ask him what is happening and he will tell me the story. Buy the book. It is worth the price just to see the enjoyment in your little person's eyes. My five year old grandson enjoyed the book for the first dozen or so readings but lost interest - he is more into Skylanders. But it is a wonderful picture book for littler ones.
This is a story book with story told in wonderful pictures plus a very few words for animal sounds (like "tweet" and "grrr") . Classic tale told in pictures only, to which parent adds narrative interpretation, makes this book a shared adventure. The child's experience is contributory here -- parent will elicit interpretation from child as well. My 4 year old grandson sat still while his daddy told him the story; child is not yet independently reading but has very large comprehension vocabulary NOT limited to the usual bedtime story vocabs. When they sat down with this book the next day, child told daddy the story while dad added ideas to make it more complex. You must have this book to see the opening of a new window in the meaning of "read to me".
Based on "Aesops Tales" this book is beautifully illustrated and super for kids, being in a large size format. The story is good deed deserves another, Simply told.
The copy I received is second hand and ex-library being marked with a rubber stamp. The dust cover is protected with a clear plastic envelope, but one or two pages have been torn and half the fly-leaf is missing. However, this only adds to my delight as it means many readers have enjoyed it before I bought it to look after in my library.
I purchased this book because my almost-2-year-old did not want to return it to the library. The depictions of the animals are beautiful; I got it for the art work. The expressions on the lion and the mouse tell the story. I point things out, add sound effects and say a few words. If you're not into wordless picture books and you just prefer to read words to your kids, this might not be for you. But if you're not into wordless picture books, it's also a good wordless picture book to start you out on because you probably know the story of the lion and the mouse. Just tell it and turn the pages!
