{"product_id":"lion-and-mouse-9781773062242","title":"Lion and Mouse","description":"\u003cp\u003eFunny  fresh and very modern  this update on the fable of the lion and the mouse is a marvelous tale of a relationship between two unlikely friends. One day  the mouse marches into the lions den without an invitation. Before the lion can eat him for breakfast  the mouse begs for mercy. If you let me go  I might be able to return the favor. The lion laughs at the idea of such a small  insignificant creature helping him out  until the next day when the mouse frees the lion from a hunters trap. Jairo Buitrago and Rafael Yockteng  one of the great creative teams in picture books  have fun in this simple and never-didactic story about how its possible to get along through negotiation  acceptance and learning to put up with a friends eccentricities. You can be good to one another not because you expect anything in return but just because you are friends.
