This review is from: Anatole and the Cat (Hardcover)

It's a nice book that continues the story of Anatole at the cheese factory. The first book was nicer, but this is a must if you liked the first one. Introduces a clever way of catching the cat and Anatole is once again the hero. Drawings are wonderful in red white and blue.

5.0 out of 5 stars They call him Anatole THE MOUSE!!!, October 24, 2004

This review is from: Anatole and the Cat (Hardcover)

Anatole, if you haven't read the first story, is the loveable mouse who works as the anonymous cheese taster at the cheese factory.

In this second book, Anatole is faced with a problem. And that is the house cat or in this case, "factory" cat. But after the story goes on, our hero comes up with a perfect solution. Read it and find out.

Galdone's illustrations are genius as is the idea of using only French colors.
