Belling the Tiger by Pierre Pratt, Mary Stolz
3.0
This is a much longer story than the other "belling the cat" story I've read: [b:But Who Will Bell the Cats?|6576802|But Who Will Bell the Cats?|Cynthia von Buhler|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348646811s/6576802.jpg|6770172]. This is quite a bit longer than your typical picture book. It is perfect for children who are ready for chapter books but still want a picture book.
I had to laugh at the mice meeting with the leader Portman, a kitchen mouse who "was silver, going gray, and knew what there was to know, from cellar to attic." I've been in meetings with a Portman-type before and Mary Stolz got him just right!
This won a Newbery Honor in 1962.
