The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney
Jerry Pinkney is a god. I think that's my whole review. No, wait, I have to mention that this book is wordless (except for beautifully lettered onomatopoeia incorporated into the paintings).
In a year when Jerry Pinkney also illustrated The Moon Over Star, I think he is his own stiffest competition for a Caldecott.

I agree, the man's work is in a class all its own. This is my Caldecott front runner.
Luckily, Moon Over Star was 2008. No Caldecott, but Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor.
