A Better Way to Bell a Cat by Bonnie Grubman
4.0

Do you remember the story about how to bell a cat? Well, this is a retelling with a cute twist. What happens when the family brings home a cat? Can the three little mice live peacefully or do they have to find another home?

The illustrations are for toddlers and teeny kids. The characters have a plush cartoonish design and feel to them. The colors are soft and pleasant on the eyes. The text is meant for parents to read aloud (I suppose). I wish the font is bigger and easier to read. It is small, at least in my eARC.

The story even has a moral about not judging others or jumping to conclusions. Though, it’s for the elders to explain this to the kiddos.

To sum up, A Better Way to Bell a Cat is a cute book for little ones who like animals.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
