Customer Reviews

Great story for children with exposure to french language

I gave the first book of this series; Anatole, to a family with one French parent and one American parent and it was a big hit with the parents and the three toddlers so the next holiday I gave them Anatole and The Cat which was also very enthusiastically received. Anatole and the Cat reinforces the concept of honor, hard work and problem solving that was introduced in the first book of the series; Anatole. The book about a Parisian mouse has been translated into English but still includes some french words that the children love to hear and repeat. Anatole really is a Mouse Magnifique!

Anatole

My granddaughter enjoyed the book immensely, and I appreciate the fact that the characters emphasize family values and an excellent work ethic.

Cute book, not as good as the first one

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.

They call him Anatole THE MOUSE!!!

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. R
