Caldecott Medal & Illustrated by Jerry Pinkney - The Lion & The Mouse

With elaborate illustrations and barely any words, Pinkney transforms Aesop's Fable, "The Lion and the Mouse" into a story that will change the way you see the world.  I had never read the fable before, and I was still able to grasp the moral of the story, treat others as you would want to be treated.  Mr. Pinkney has received four New York TImes Best Illustrated Awards and has been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.  He has received the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King Award five times.  His other illustrations consist of:
