Book six of the Rascal series and the second one which I have read is all about cheese, well its not all about cheese, but cheese is integral to the plot, but in reality it could have been anything yoghurt, milk, butter, all sorts of dairy options or carrots, it could have been about carrots, the item isn't as important to the plot, but i may have gone off the deep end here, and I may be misleading you even more, because maybe cheese is essential to the plot with it's little mysteries to be solved! Well anyway - a reasonably entertaining little yarn in this series.

My 6 year old son read half of this to me last night and I read the other half back to him. It is a fun book and we did not guess where the mouse was hiding. Love this series, especially the artwork and the funny stories.

Might be good for a reader, but terrible for a read aloud.
