Abstract

en_US
Here is the paperback version of the original 2000 hardbound edition by the same publisher, published in 2007 and printed in this second printing in 2010. As I wrote then, it was first published and copyrighted in 2000 by Nord-Süd Verlag AG, Gossau Zürich under the title Der Löwe und die Maus. This lovely oversized edition starts in a new way: a playful lion cub is awakened by a mouse scampering across his paw. Making the lion young allows, I think, for a different understanding of his boast that a mouse cannot help a lion. Though the art is still done for children, Watts creates one of the most realistic nets I have seen for the lion, who roars day and night. None of the animals can help him. Watts pays special attention to the surrounding creatures, including colorful snakes and birds. My favorites are the curious and attentive mongooses. For this listing, I checked to make sure that that is the correct plural!
