Customer Reviews

There’s always another way…

And Anatole finds it. This is a super sweet book for elementary kids. My children enjoyed it so much we must have read it 10 times in one week. The author does a lovely job introducing the idea that there is always another way to do things if you are will to try. Anatole is creative and well illustrated. This is a permanent addition to our library.

Anatole

A lovely children's book! Worth finding and reading to all children who have an imagination. Brings back many wonderful childhood memories for those of us who can recall simple children's stories such as Anatole.

My Favorite Children's Book!

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.

Even a bicycle riding French mouse can make a difference!!

Excellent book for kids!!...I had never heard of this author or title prior to today. The main character of the book is a Parisian mouse named Anatole. He is a bicycle riding mouse who is always in search of food for his very large family. After he discoveres that humans don't like it when mice dig through their trash, he develops a plan to make his talents helpful for people. His efforts pay off and he becomes a hero to his family of mice and to the humans who benefit from his efforts.Even the youngest of children will understand the themes of this book. Children who may see themselves as insignificant in a busy household will learn great lessons from Anatole. Anatole is a Caldecott Honor Book. Even though this book is currently out of print, it should be searched for at your local library. Nevertheless I will look for other books from Eve Tutus. Vive Anatole!!

C'est magnifique!

This is a wonderful book and should be reprinted. Every child should read the Anatole series, every library should lend the Anatole series and every bookstore should stock the Anatole series. Anyone who has not read it is missing out on a tres bien thing.

A-mazing!

Amazing! For younger readers, this book will be a blast! This book is about mice in Paris who are looking for food. One mouse named Anatole goes to a cheese factory and earns his living by tasting cheeses and giving tips on how to improve it. Eve Titus has a really exciting way of writing! - Mark
