April Giveaway: But Who Will Bell the Cat?

Sorry this giveaway is coming to you all so late in the month... to say the very least, April has been crazy in my neck of the woods! Anyhow... it's here at last - better late than never, as they say!

Cynthia Von Buhler has put her creative juices to good work, attempting to provide children with a worthy answer to the age-old question set forth by none other than Aesop! In But Who Will Bell the Cats? Von Buhler takes a closer look at that question and finally gives some sort of closure to the Aesop's question: "Who will bell the cat?"!

I absolutely loved this story when I read it... However, I'll be honest, I did have to go back and reread the fable to re-familiarize myself with it, as it has been years since I've done much reading of any of Aesop's fables!

HOW TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!

• Share with your child, Aesop's original fable, "Belling the Cat."
  

  The Mice once called a meeting to decide on a plan to free themselves of their enemy, the Cat. At least they wished to find some way of knowing when she was coming, so they might have time to run away. Indeed, something had to be done, for they lived in such constant fear of her claws that they hardly dared stir from their dens by night or day.
  
  Many plans were discussed, but none of them was thought good enough. At last, a very young Mouse got up and said, "I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. All we have to do is to hang a bell around the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know immediately that our enemy is coming."
  
  All the mice were much surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before. But, in the midst of the rejoicing over their good fortune, an old Mouse arose and said, "I will say that the plan of the young Mouse is very good. But let me ask one question. Who will bell the Cat?"
  
  It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite a different matter to do it!
