Abstract

en_US This landscape-formatted book develops LM cleverly and delivers a surprising point to young readers. The ancient female mouse lives in a pyramid, where she has an alarm clock, bathroom, and even a toothbrush. Outside she is fleeing from a vulture. The latter tries to catch her just as she approaches what seems a hill. In fact, the hill is a lion, as the vulture discovers when he tries to stab the mouse but stabs the lion's tail instead. Later, the mouse is thoughtful enough to put a cushion beneath the lion's suspended rope-bag. After she gnaws through the rope suspending the bag, the lion asks her how she could do it. She takes him to her home and shows him--through the window, since he is too big to enter--how she brushes her teeth. The lion laments that he did not care better for his teeth, and now he suffers from toothaches even though he has eaten three dentists! He appoints her his children's Supreme Dental Supervisor. The rear endpaper has been cut away. The pictures have a cartoon quality that suggests their origin as stills for an animated motion picture. Both the characters and the colors are lively. The book is fun!
