After a ferocious lion spares the life of a cowering mouse that he had originally planned to eat, the mouse later comes to his rescue, freeing him from a poacher's trap . . .
A stunningly rendered wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, The Lion & the Mouse uses vivid depictions of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters to tell the tale of an unlikely pair who learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted.
