The strong and stubborn King of the Jungle gets in an entangled predicament when he pauses while on his favorite Savana prowl. Will his snarling, thrashing and roaring release him from his hopeless bind? Or will it take a mighty nibble from one tiny, sweet creature to free the feisty feline? Acts of kindness, empathy, and a clever idea are the answer to the lion’s plight!
PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the classic fable, "The Lion and the Mouse." It teaches lessons about empathy, kindness and trust.
