Review by Horn Book Review

Mouse Theodore feels upstaged by his animal friends' talents. Claiming to understand a talking mushroom's language, he earns everyone's respect--and the right to be "venerated above all other animals"--until his lie is exposed in a most humiliating way. Lionni's signature collages, in mottled greens and marbleized browns, create an irresistibly lush forest setting. (c) Copyright 2010.
