As light and artistic as a Parisian chef's souffle, the story of a little mouse, Anatole, who works as a cheese taster evenings in a French cheese factory and succeeds in trapping the owner's cat, is a blend of impish wit and Gallic gaiety. Paul Galdone's illustrations in red, white and blue personify a smock-clad and beret- capped mouse sprinting on his bicycle between the tall houses of narrow French streets. We say, Vive Anatale.
