Jingle Bells

PreS-Gr 2 Living in a stable, Jack and Lottie would be happy farm mice if it weren't for Angus, That Cat who steals their Christmas food, writes a note to Santa telling him they are away, and generally terrorizes them any chance he gets. Finally they appeal to the wise rat Ton-Chee for help and the three come up with a clever plan to bell the dreaded feline. The simply told story makes a good nonsectarian read-aloud. Though they are too small for large groups, the charming watercolors are full of humorous details and character. Children will enjoy these plucky mice who work together to ensure a happier new year once their enemy is foiled.
