About the Book Once a Mouse
Once a Mouse by Marcia Brown is a beautifully illustrated retelling of an Indian fable from the Hitopadesa. The story follows a small mouse whose life is saved by a kind hermit. To protect the mouse from various predators, the hermit uses magic to transform the mouse into progressively larger and more powerful animals: first a cat, then a dog, and finally a majestic tiger.
However, as the mouse-turned-tiger becomes more powerful, he also grows vain and ungrateful, forgetting his humble origins. The hermit, disappointed by the tiger’s arrogance, ultimately decides to turn him back into a mouse. The story emphasizes themes of gratitude, humility, and the dangers of pride.
Marcia Brown’s woodcut illustrations add a magical touch to this timeless tale, which earned her a Caldecott Medal.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
