My niece and I liked this story. I'm not sure what made it so endearing to us, but at the end of the book we were both grinning like a couple of fools. The illustrations were great, and the story was... uplifting, I guess is the word I want. Anatole is a brave little mouse, and we just enjoyed how he didn't let something as brutish as a cat interfere with his life.

Is there a better looking French mouse than Anatole, in his A-line coat? Are there any lovelier mouse children than Paul and Paulette, George and Georgette, Claude and Claudette? Any stranger ingredient to add to cheese than cucumber seeds? Every other page has red, white and blue illustrations.

This wasn't actually on the top 100 list, but the library didn't have just plain "Anatole." This was cute enough, and somewhat clever, but nothing fantastic.

Though not as good as the first one, Anatole's charm comes through in this sequel. He's a bold little bugger, leaving memos instructing humans to please control their cats...

Well, I was inclined to love it because of the other Anatole book I remember. This one deals with the old question of who will bell the cat. It'd make a fun pairing with Cynthia Von Buhler's take on the same story, But Who Will Bell the Cats?. Recommended to fans of Ratouille.

This book was just nearly as good as the first. I enjoyed seeing how the characters react and I thought the story was a lovely little tale. This book was simple without being dumbed-down or patronizing, something I find hard to tolerate in children's books. I'd definitely recommend this book.

The story is about a mouse, Anatole, who works at a cheese factory. His work is disturbed by a troublesome cat, but Anatole rises above the cat and even gets a cheese named after himself.
