Anatole is a most honorable mouse. When he realizes that humans are upset by mice sampling their leftovers, he is shocked! He must provide for his beloved family--but he is determined to find a way to earn his supper. And so he heads for the tasting room at the Duvall Cheese Factory. On each cheese, he leaves a small note--"good," "not so good," "needs orange peel"--and signs his name. When workers at the Duvall factory find his notes in the morning, they are perplexed--but they realize that this mysterious Anatole has an exceptional palate and take his advice. Soon Duvall is making the best cheese in all of Paris! They would like to give Anatole a reward--if only they could find him...

All of the Anatole books bring back warm memories. I wasn't sure why, but a month or so ago I wandered into a used book store. Voila! There were 3 or 4 of Eve Titus' Anatole books (Anatole, Anatole and the Piano, Anatole and the Toy Shop). As I reread them, I began to remember why they were so special. Titus has captured the essence of "Frenchness" in an amazing way. There is a plot and an energy that is missing in much of recent Early Childhood publications. Anatole loves his family, works hard, oozes with patriotism, is heroic . . . These books really should be reprinted.
P.S. I'm a teacher. Trust me. I read a lot of children's books.

I am past 50 years old now, and have read thousands of books, but one of my very favorites is Eve Titus's "Anatole".
I even still have the actual book that I read all those years ago.It's in great shape and the illustrations by Paul Galdone are perfect and very "French".
You should buy a couple of good cheeses and introduce them to your child after you read Anatole to them, or if they read it themselves. and they will remember that with loving fondness for the rest of their lives.

Whoever reads this magical book will soon be starving for cheese!
After all those years, I can still see the little French mouse and his comrades in my mind, bicycling into Paris late at night for their cheese run.
Everything about this book is positive and upbeat and a wonderful influnce on children of all ages.
I still love Anatole and read it often. I highly recommend it.
