In this famous African folktale, a lion has a thorn in its paw. Who will take it out? Only the little mouse is brave enough! Children will learn a lesson about compassion as they look at breathtaking paintings of African animals by renowned illustrator Gustaf Tenggren. A Little Golden Book Classic!
When Golden Books launched in 1942 at 25 cents each, they changed publishing history. For the first time, children's books were high quality and low-priced. They were available to almost all children, not just a privileged few. Since then, over two billion Golden Books have reached the hands of children all over the world. Many famous writers and illustrators created Golden books and today they are a worldwide icon.
