The Lion with the Thorn In His Paw?

Question: There is a children's story about a lion that was roaring and he had a thorn in his paw, but because he wouldn't be still, the thorn kept getting pressed deeper in his paw. I think a mouse finally got him to calm down and the moust pulled it out. I am looking for the name of this book so that I can buy it for someone as a gift.

Answer: One famous children's version of this fable by Aesop is "The Lion's Paw" by Jane Warner Watson, published as a Little Golden Book: http://www.amazon.com/Lions-Paw-Little-Golden-Book/dp/0307960080/?tag=24680e-20 Other versions include: The lion and the mouse / Gail Herman, 1998 The Lion and the mouse : an Aesop fable / Ed Young, 1979 The lion and the mouse : an Aesop tale retold / Mary Lewis Wang, 1986 The lion and the mouse : an Aesop's fable / A J Wood, 1995 The lion and the mouse : a retelling of Aesop's fable / Mark White, 2004 The lion and the mouse : an Aesop fable / Bernadette Watts, 2000 The lion and the mouse / Bob Dole, 1981 The lion and the mouse / Carol Jones, 1997 The lion and the mouse : a fable by Aesop / Gerald Rose, 1988 And I'm sure there are many others. Good luck!
