From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3. Jones has expanded an Aesop's fable into an adventure. Mouse's first foray out of the hold of the sailing ship where he lives with his family leads to a disastrous encounter with a cat and a plunge into the sea. Washed up on an island, he escapes from one dangerous animal after another until he is captured by Lion, who admires his courage and lets him go. A few hours later, Mouse hears Lion's cry of distress and rescues him from a hunter's net. Lion then arranges for Mouse to return to his family. The augmented tale moves quickly enough to keep children's interest but lacks the focused simplicity and dignity that makes the traditional version so appealing. Each two-page spread has a full-page of illustration faced by one of text. The middle of the text page contains a round hole that first gives a peek at an element in the next picture and, when the page is turned, looks back at part of the preceding painting. The devise is adequate, but it is sometimes difficult to determine just what is being shown through the peep hole. The colors in the pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations have such a similarity of tone and are so busy with details and crosshatching that the figures are frequently overpowered by the backgrounds. All in all, this retelling adds nothing new to a familiar fable.?Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
