A Better Way to Bell a Cat by Bonnie Grubman

A Better Way to Bell a Cat Reviews

The peaceful, safe life three mice enjoy is threatened when the homeowner introduces a rather large tabby. The mice flee and, while hiding, try to come up with a plan to bell the cat. Several failed though innovative ideas later, the clever rodents come up with a Trojan horse-style plan. They hide within the stuffing of Fluffy, a toy dog, and approach the napping feline with loud woofs, hoping to scare the newcomer away. The cat is unimpressed, but the three mice are relieved when the feline states, I'm not a mouser. I'm just a cat who fancies canned food, friendship, and harmonious living. The cat is warmly welcomed, and a lasting friendship is formed between the new and existing housemates. Then, ominously the humans bring home a rather large pup. The foregone cliffhanger conclusion leaves readers with some anticipation and intrigue. Pleasing, emotive, cartoon-style illustrations enhance this straightforward, sympathetic narrative with characters who are apprehensive though amenable to a changing situation.

About Bonnie Grubman

Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York.
