The Lion and the Mouse playscript is a traditional tale that has been retold by popular children's author Gerald Rose. It is one of six playscripts from the Cambridge Reading Range of Genres Strand for children in Key Stage 1/Primary 2 and 3. The Lion and the Mouse has six characters, and each character is represented by an icon. The order in which the characters are listed on the page reflects the contribution they make. Also available in a guided group reading pack of six with free teacher notes, The Lion and the Mouse is an excellent means for practising reading, speaking and listening skills. The Lion and the Mouse playscript is an adaptation of an existing Cambridge Reading storybook which gives children the opportunity to reinforce their reading of the original text.
