The 2023 Pratchat Challenge - hosted by mcbenzie

A book with one or more talking animals
Pratchett loves a good talking animal. Well...a funny talking animal. Witness Gaspode, Maurice, the rats of the Clan, even the Death of Rats might count. We don’t mind if the animals talk to humans or only to each other; as long as they’re talking!

We’ll have some more suggestions soon, but Ben still highly rates The Bees by Laline Paull.
