This gem of a book is my favorite at this level in the Step-Into-Reading series. With simple wording -- perfect for a preschooler or a child learning to read -- The Lion and the Mouse, captures the main elements of the traditional fable. It is a story for which the expression 'sure to delight young and old alike' truly fits. Many books for beginning readers lack substance and can make reading boring. However, this meaningful story gives children an opportunity to not only be successful in reading, but to experience the joy of reading. You can't go wrong in choosing this one!

This book retells the classic Aesop story of the lion and the mouse. And though it was written with children who are just beginning to read in mind, it would be suitable for younger children -- babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and some kindergärtners-- as well.
In the story, a sleepy (and full) lion catches a tiny mouse. The mouse begs to be let go, promising that one day he will return the favor. The lion finds this humorous, but lets the mouse go. Then as fate would have it, one day the mouse does get to return the favor when he frees the lion from a hunter's net.
The publisher notes that their Step 1 readers are "[F]or children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading." To that end, I believe you will find this an excellent and satisfactory book.
Five Stars. This book has very few words in LARGE print. Very nice artwork: the colour runs from page edge to page edge. Okay Read-aloud. Suitable for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and any child learning to read their very first book. Note: Some of the words are more difficult than you would find in most primers, but because there are so few of them, children will memorize them in short order, and they should soon be able to gain a real sense of accomplishment.

this book was okay I thought it was a little better than most of the other treasury of classics for children. I think this book would be pretty good for little children that think they are verry little and are dont really think of thamself really like they are verry emportant even thought every child is loved and emportant. Overall it is probaly a good book for pretty young children. I liked it for a little bet wen I was pretty small. It is a pretty nice book for little children

This book was done very well with good colorful
pictures. The children enjoyed this story when
a parent read it to them and they became very
interested with reactions to the story. It was age
appropriate for the three boys in attendance
ranging in age from five to seven years old.
