This is a illustrated version of The Lion and the Mouse, an Aesop's fable. This book is about a mouse who repays a lion for showing him mercy by chewing through a snare that traps the lion. Pinkney does a great job of illustrating this story using watercolor pictures.
Other children's books that Jerry Pinkney has illustrated include Song of the Trees by Mildred Taylor, The Talking Eggs by Robert D. San Souci, John Henry by Julius Lester, and Goin' Some Place by Patricia C. McKissack.
