Next Chapter

The famous Parisian mouse, Anatole, makes a reappearance on bookshelves as the first two books in the series are reissued as a 50th anniversary edition. The series is penned by Eve Titus and is sure to be a hit with young children who adore loveable mice—or cheese!

Anatole

Anatole is a Parisian mouse who needs to provide for his family. He finds himself in the Duval Cheese Factory and helps the employees by sampling the cheese and leaving notes about its quality. The workers are baffled but realize that Anatole is a cheese connoisseur and take his advice. Soon Duval cheese becomes the best in Paris. The owner would like to give Anatole a reward for his help, but no one can find him… or knows that he’s a mouse!

Anatole & the Pied Piper

Anatole is many things: a cheese taster, a musician, a hero and now a detective. When Doucette, Anatole’s wife, takes 24 school mice on a picnic; Grissac, the self-proclaimed ‘Pied Piper of Paris,’ mouse-naps the school mice, leaving Doucette the only mouse left. When Anatole hears of this he concocts the most dangerous of plans to rescue the school mice and teach Grissac a lesson.

Anatole & the Piano

Anatole loves cheese, but loves music even more. Not only is he a fabulous cheese taster but a wonderful musician as well. In a nearby museum sits a miniature piano once owned by the French king that Anatole plays beautiful music on, but when the piano is on show in another museum, Anatole must find other means of enjoying the music he loves dearly. When Anatole hears M’sieu Duval’s nephew, Domenico, is performing for 100 orphans, he decides to go as well. But, when a string of pearls falls into the piano, how is Domenico supposed to play?

Anatole & the Cat

Anatole has been working at the greatest cheese factory as the Vice-President in charge of cheese tasting. When the owner decides to bring his cat to work and let it roam around at night while Anatole is working in secret, Anatole must think quickly or else he’ll lose his job, and his life. Clever Anatole must do what no mouse has dared to do to protect his position, his family and his life!
