Review is for the English version. A version of Aesop's lion and mouse tale, but very melancholy. I didn't love it as a kid, and my five year old announced it was too sad and he never wants to see the book again. ( )

This is a picture book about a mouse and a whale. Although it is a picture book it is quite long and each page does consist of many sentences. The story goes through the mouse and the whale who become friends by helping each other. The two end up both helping each other in the end as well as learning about each other. This is a good book for more advanced readers who can comprehend more complex stories but who also enjoy picture books.
