This book catches your eye when you first see it and captures your imagination throughout. It was fun to figure out the story from just the pictures and appreciate all the details and setting that was included. Everything was so intentional in this book. I loved the authors quote at the end, "As a child I was inspired to see the majestic king of the jungle saved by the determination and hard work of a humble rodent; as an adult I've come to appreciate how both animals are equally large at heart: the courageous mouse, and the lion who must rise above his beastly nature to set his small prey free."
