Luckily, the animals he meets do their best to help him out . . . even Lion, the fiercest of them all. But how can tiny Mouse return the favor of the great King of the Jungle? Mouse's jungle adventures arecleverly foreshadowed by a die-cut hole in each page, and the illustrations bear up to long and pleasant scrutiny. Children are sure to return to this charmingly inventive book again and again. This description may be from another edition of this product.
