Abstract
This book offers quite a creative transformation of LM. The lion announces himself, in the book's rap style, as king with a great deal of swagger--until he gets a thorn in his paw. The mouse saves him and then shows the same swagger himself. The other animals only laugh at the mouse, and he bothers his friend the lion king repeatedly for help. At the mouse's request, the lion even leaves his own den and heads for the hills. The lion's last line gives a fine moral for the tale as it is fashioned here: Is he who wants to be a bully/just scared to be himself? This book is one of three to appear by the same persons and from the same publisher. See the same year for GA and 2004 for Poppy and the Snake.
