Revered Vermin of Literature

The fabulous title is not my creation; it was the sign on a table display at Joseph-Beth Booksellers earlier this year. But I love it enough to run with it. Here's my personal list of just who the revered vermin are. And to prove that they are truly revered, I'm not listing the book titles. True worshipers will know them from just their names.
1. Templeton
2. Bernard
3. Miss Bianca
4. Town Mouse and Country Mouse
5. Mouse, the Lion and.
6. Squirrel Nutkin
7. Anna Maria
8. Samuel Whiskers
9. Unnamed Mice from The Tailor of Gloucester
10. Stuart Little
11. Chester cricket
 12. The Pigeon

I reserve the right to add to this list upon further reflection.
