This illustrated picture book retells three classic Aesop fables: "City Mouse-Country Mouse," in which a country mouse visits his city cousin and learns the differences between urban and rural life; "The Lion and the Mouse," in which a mighty lion spares a tiny mouse who later proves that even the smallest creature can help the greatest; and "Belling the Cat," in which mice debate how to protect themselves from a cat. The book is written at a 2.8 reading level for children in grades K-3 and features simple text with colorful illustrations.
