About this ebook
She's always been the "invisible" twin, but when her sister reneges on a promise to the king of beasts, a timid mouse chews her way into the spotlight. This sweet, fractured twist on a classic Aesop's fable, told from the mouse's point of view, invites discussion of kindness, truth, and perspective. Includes a condensed version of the original tale.
