Anatole is a most honorable mouse. When he realizes that humans are upset by mice sampling their leftovers, he is shocked! He must provide for his beloved family--but he is determined to find a way to earn his supper. And so he heads for the tasting room at the Duvall Cheese Factory. On each cheese, he leaves a small note--"good," "not so good," "needs orange peel"--and signs his name. When workers at the Duvall factory find his notes in the morning, they are perplexed--but they realize that this mysterious Anatole has an exceptional palate and take his advice. Soon Duvall is making the best cheese in all of Paris! They would like to give Anatole a reward--if only they could find him...

Anatole the mouse is horribly offended when he overhears two people speak about mice with abhorrence. He decides to pay people back for their leftover food by visiting a cheese factory and leaving helpful comments about the quality of its cheeses. His comments are a success; the owner of the factory uses Anatole's thoughts to improve his merchandise and the factory becomes the best cheese factory in all of France.
A lovely little story set in Paris, illustrated by the wonderful Paul Galdone with tones of the colors of the French flag, red, white and blue.
