Anatole

By Eve Titus
Picture Books
Review:

Anatole is a happy and perfectly content mouse who lives near Paris with his wife and six children. To provide for his family, he quietly crept into houses at night and brought back all the food he could. One night he heard people saying negative, rude things about mice. This hurt him deeply until he had a brilliant idea. At a nearby cheese factory, Anatole tasted many different cheeses and left his opinion on little notes. Business at the factory improved greatly because of Anatole and he was eventually given all the cheese and delicacies he desired. He then became a proud and accomplished business mouse who never had to go looking for leftovers again.
