A fun revision of the story of the mice trying to bell the cat. (

Oh do read this - either as a short chapter book with the lovely line drawings by Montresor, or as the newer picture-book. Stolz took the fable of Belling the Cat to the logical next step with audacious characters, an exciting adventure, and language so effortlessly graceful and witty I wonder why there's not a whole series of adventures featuring Rambo and Asa.
