In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold,
Stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old.
And under that rock in a tinyful house,
Lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.
Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes... and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!
This special new edition features shiny gold foil on the cover and includes notes from Rachel and Jim to the reader, as well as a sneak peek at some early sketches of Mouse and Lion! The perfect gift for new and existing fans of this modern classic from award-winning and bestselling creators Rachel Bright and Jim Field.
