this book was okay I thought it was a little better than most of the other treasury of classics for children. I think this book would be pretty good for little children that think they are verry little and are dont really think of thamself really like they are verry emportant even thought every child is loved and emportant. Overall it is probaly a good book for pretty young children. I liked it for a little bet wen I was pretty small. It is a pretty nice book for little children

This book was done very well with good colorful
pictures. The children enjoyed this story when
a parent read it to them and they became very
interested with reactions to the story. It was age
appropriate for the three boys in attendance
ranging in age from five to seven years old.

This is one of my favorites in the Step into Reading Step 1 series of early readers (we have almost all of them). It is an adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable of “The Lion and the Mouse”, only it has been simplified to capture the interest and imagination of young readers, and the beautiful, full-color illustrations enhance the reading experience.
These Step 1 series are recommended for preschool-K – the stories are in large type and the vocabulary is easy. The stories are also in a rhyming format which makes them easy and fun to read. The full color pictures also provide contextual clues as to the word being used in the text. These early readers have raised my daughter’s confidence level in reading, and she is doing so well that I’m purchasing the Step Two books (Preschool-Grade 1). I use these books in conjunction with sight words to reinforce her recognition of common vocabulary.

This book is the first book that my son ever read on his own & it will forever be in my memories. It is truly a level 1 book & all the words are able to be sounded out. It is a great book for a beginner, has 2 “chapters” so kids feel like they read a big-kid book, and it teaches a lesson about kindness. I highly recommend this book to other beginning readers.

This gem of a book is my favorite at this level in the Step-Into-Reading series. With simple wording — perfect for a preschooler or a child learning to read — The Lion and the Mouse, captures the main elements of the traditional fable. It is a story for which the expression ’sure to delight young and old alike’ truly fits. Many books for beginning readers lack substance and can make reading boring. However, this meaningful story gives children an opportunity to not only be successful in reading, but to experience the joy of reading. You can’t go wrong in choosing this one!
