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.
