Anatole
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...

Viva La France and C’est la Vie, Anatole is here to cheer up me. I had so much fun with this book! I’ve never heard a peep about this and it’s lovely. Anatole is a mouse with a family to feed. He was gathering food with a friend one night in someone’s kitchen when he overhears them talking about disgusting mice and how they steal food. He feels guilty and decides to do something different.
At night he steals into a cheese factory and with his sensitive nose, he tells them what cheese is good and if not, what it needs.
For me, everything about this story works. The art which is only red, blue and white to the story and the character of Anatole. It is so charming. They have a few pages that are painted all one color and then drawn over similar to ‘Finders Keepers’ which I didn’t like, but this worked in this story. Plus it was only a page or two.
The kids loved the story. My niece loves cheese and she likes really good cheese too. She is a little foodie. She gave this 5 stars. The nephew wanted to catch the mice and we told him we don’t have mice. He gave the story 4 stars regardless. One of them has rats as pets at school and they recently brought them home over the weekend and they loved playing with them. They both want rats or gerbils or something. It was fun watching their plastic ball roll around the house.

Anatole lives in a mouse village near Paris with his mouse family. Every night he goes to find scraps from the human houses to bring home to his family. Overhearing a human's conversation one night, he realises that mice are viewed as a nuisance and seen as taking food that isn't theirs. Anatole then seeks to find a way to do a job for humans that is valued and earns food for his family doing a job he enjoys.
The illustrations are lovely, some black and white, the addition of blue and red to some pages adds to the french feel. The mouse family illustrations are lovely, some very cute beady eyed mice and beautiful little houses.

Anatole is a badass fucking mouse, and he knows his cheese. If your cheese sucks, he will tell you. You're lucky to have him around.

It's been more than 50 years since Eve Titus published Anatole, in three-color printing. Which makes sense, given that this tale is set in France, where the colors of the flag are blue, white, and red.
Anatole lives in a suburb of Paris (in a lovely little mouse town), an honorable mouse horrified to realize he's considered to be no better than a thief and a vandal by the people whose houses he collects food from. But what is a mouse to do? He's got to make a living somehow!
He goes with his strengths, THAT'S what he does. And what are mice good at? Tasting CHEESE! And off to the cheese factory Anatole goes, with some carefully printed signs, and a plan...
I can see how this might have inspired the movie Ratatouille, and children who liked that movie will enjoy this small tale of another rodent who finds a way to put his gustatory talents to work. I liked the scenes of Anatole and his friend Gaston riding their bikes in to the city in a twilight tableau that made me think of the Tour de France. And I liked the old-fashioned French style of the outfits and the scenery - I could almost hear an accordion playing while I read this book.
Mes amis, I recommend this book to those who are fond of mice, and fond of cheese. :D

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.

Anatole by Eve Titus is a Caldecott Award winner written in 1956. It is a charming book about a self-respecting French mouse that goes out to prove to humans that mice are not "a disgrace to all of France". The author characterization of the mouse is well developed. We get to know what kind of mouse Anatole is through his actions and words.
It is very interesting to see the difference between the illustrations of a book written 50 years ago and those available now. Only black, white, red and blue are used in the illustrations of this book. I am assuming that this was cutting edge at the time. I feel the book could fall under the easy reader label and would be appropriate up to age 7 or 8. I enjoyed the story.

Anatole is a mouse with a conscience. Instead of stealing, he wants to earn his cheese. The plan he comes up with is clever and shows some wonderful traits about honesty and work ethics that children today need just as much as the readers of 50 years ago (if not more!) Highly recommended!

Anatole / by Eve Titus; illustrated by Paul Galdone -- New York : Alfred A. Knopf, c1956, 1984. (32 pages) [50th Anniversary Edition] RANGE 3 -- PICTURE BOOKS
SUMMARY: Considered a classic in Children's Literature, Anatole first appeared in 1956. The story is about a mouse of action, a mouse of honor, a French mouse magnifique who decides to earn his food for his family by supplying advice to the Duval Cheese Factory on the quality of their cheeses after hours when everyone else has left for the day. The owner of the failing cheese factory takes his advice and soon becomes "the cheese factory" in Paris.
REVIEW: I remember this story from my childhood. Anatole was one of those that I read every so often. The character was lovable while the illustrations charming (Paul Galdone being one of my favorite children's illustrators).
FORMAT: The illustrations are by Paul Galdone, one of my top five favorite children's illustrators. The pictures are still in their limited color schemes with a double-spread of black and white illustrations and then a double-spread of red, white, blue, and black.
FAVORITE PARTS: The first sentence is memorable -- "In all France there was no happier, more contented mouse than Anatole." -- I also like his family -- wife Doucette and six children Paul and Paulette, Claude and Claudette, and Georges and Georgette. But my absolute favorite is Anatole in the cheese tasting room -- because I like cheese just as much as Anatole does.
NOTE: There are other stories available from the duo Eve Titus and Paul Galdone including ANATOLE AND THE CAT (#2), ANATOLE AND THE ROBOT (#3), ANATOLE OVER ITALY (#5), ANATOLE AND THE POODLE (#6), ANATOLE AND THE PIANO (#7), ANATOLE AND THE THIRTY THIEVES (#8), ANATOLE AND THE TOYSHOP (#9), and ANATOLE AND THE PIPED PIPER (#10), so enjoy them all.
NOTE: Older readers may enjoy the Basil of Baker Street Series by the same author and illustrator. The character is based off of Sherlock Holmes.
FURTHER FUN: 1) The story includes a few simple French phrases that can be read, discussed, and practiced. 2) Use the story with a cheese tasting program and let the children make little signs to say if they liked the cheese or not. 3) Have a discussion about jobs and what they may be able to do now to help someone out.

Caldecott 1957 book.
This is a sweet story. But it's hard to put into words why. It's about a mouse that doesn't need recognition for something good he's doing. Maybe that's why I like it. Too many people are always needing validation and recognition.

One of my all time favourites from my childhood. This delightful picture book is about a French mouse called Anatole who lives with his wife Doucette and their six children: Paul and Paulette, Claude and Claudette, Georges and Georgette in a little village near Paris.
The father mice of the village ride out every evening on their bicycles to forage for food for their families. One night Anatole and his partner Gaston overhear some humans complaining about ‘terrible mice’ stealing their food. Gaston is not bothered about the humans’ opinions of mice but Anatole is shattered and decides to find a way to redeem the reputations of mice. He decides that the best way to do that is to try and give something back to humans. So he sets about typing out little signs saying: EXTRA-‘SPECIALLY GOOD, ‘SPECIALLY GOOD, GOOD, NOT SO GOOD, NO GOOD and attached these signs to little pins which he uses to help rate the cheeses at the Duval Cheese Factory.
The illustrations use a very limited palette of colours, as printing back then was not often done in full colour. You can see his Eastern European aesthetic in his illustrative style. He uses pen and pencil and watercolour to give shading and texture to his work and blocks of colour are laid over the top to provide contrast throughout the book.
It and Anatole and the Cat (1957) were made Caldecott Honour Books.
Galdone illustrated over 300 books in his time and collaborated with Eve Titus on many titles. There are 8 Anatole titles. He was born in Bucharest about 1907 and immigrated to the USA when he was 14. He studied art at the Art Student's League and New York School for Industrial Design. He served in World War II in the U.S. Army, Engineers.
I love the classic feel to this book, the indignance of Anatole having his reputation as a respectable mouse being called into question, and his solution to the problem. The language is such a wonderful example of ‘old fashioned ‘book language’:
“But I never dreamed they regarded us this way,” cried the
unhappy Anatole.
“It is horrible to feel scorned and unwanted! Where is my self-respect?
My pride? MY HONOUR?”
Gaston shrugged his shoulders indifferently. “Resign yourself,
Anatole. C’est la vie!” (Titus and Galdone, 1956, pg 14)

Anatole lived happily and contentedly in a small mouse village near Paris, France, with his loving wife, Doucette, and their six children. Until one night when he’s foraging for food from the human houses. There he hears the humans complain about dirty mice that steal food, “They are a disgrace to all France.” Anatole is greatly upset by this and yearns to be able to give something back to the humans from which he steals food. So he types up signs that say, “Extra ‘Specially Good,” “Good,” “No Good,” puts them in his briefcase and slips into the Duval Cheese Factory. He tastes all the cheese, leaving his signs and notes for the cheese-makers, “add a little vinegar” or “needs more grated onion.” What will happen when Monsieur Duval finds Anatole’s notes? What will happen when the cheese-makers follow Anatoles suggestions? Will Anatole’s secret identity be revealed?
Originally published in 1956, this Caldecott Honor book is charming and unique. The text, full of the sights and smells of Anatole’s Paris, is balanced between dialogue and narrative. The charcoal, pen, and ink illustrations are pure 1950’s. Galdone cleverly uses the colors of the French flag – blue, and red – to highlight elements in the black and grey illustrations. Although elements in the text and illustrations, such as the Anatole’s typewriter, date this book I don’t think this takes away from the characters or the story.

_Anatole_ written by Eve Titus and illustrated by Paul Galdone was a Caldecott Honor book from 1957. This is a very unique but simple story that children would find very interesting. It is an easy read and would be good not only for a large group read but also something a mid to late elementary aged student could read alone and have no problem with comprehension. The story follows the life of a mouse named Anatole as he desires to have a distinguished way of providing for his family instead of simply scavenging for scraps. Through Titus’ decision to give the mice human like characteristics, a topic that could potentially hit to close to home, is then able to be discussed. Double page spread are shown on each page with a limited color scheme consisting of only white, black, blue, and red most likely due to when the book was produced in the 50s. The color scheme, however, matches the simplicity of the story very well only highlighting the important aspects of the story. The art medium appears to be a combination of drawing with painting, further showing the simplicity of the story. I think this book was a fun read that I would read with my own personal children in the future or with a classroom full of children.

Anatole is a conscientious Parisian who is horrified when he hears how disgusted humans are by the way mice get their food. Anatole wants to do something nice in return for his food gathering, and he has just the idea. He takes little signs with him to a cheese factory, labels the samples with "Very Good", "Not So Good", etc. and writes little hints of how to make each cheese better. The cheese factory isn't doing so well, so the owner decides it couldn't hurt to try the suggestions of his mystery advisor. It turns out Anatole's suggestions are perfect, and cheese sales soar. The owner asks Anatole to show his face, but the humble mouse simply thanks him and remains anonymous, continuing to help the cheese factory in return for the food they leave out for him each night.
I don't know how this award winner has evaded my notice for so long. Maybe my mother read it to me when I was little, but I sure don't remember it. I love Anatole's heart to do something kind in return for his food and his creative thinking to make that come about. He is cute, noble, and even though he is past his 50th birthday he still should charm the little ones.

This story is absolutely delightful! One night while Anatole is out with the other mice gathering food for his family he overheard humans complaining about how awful the mice are. Shocked and ashamed, he vows to earn his food rather than steal. He begins working in secret at a cheese factory as a taster, leaving helpful notes about improvement. He helps the business become so successful he is named the First Vice-President of Cheese Tasting and is allowed to take all the cheese he needs.

I love everything about this book. The artwork is adorable. The pages switch back and forth between black and white ink images to having the illustrations splashed with red and blue. I greatly appreciate the moral; working for the things you want and need is honorable. There is quite a lot of text but it doesn't feel burdensome or boring. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem!

I especially love the use of color. Some of the pages are in black and white, but they just really highlight Galdone’s beautiful illustrations!

How can we explain how much we love Anatole and why? The children love the idea of this little mouse world. The illustrations are charming. The dilemma and solution presented are engaging. And the French phrases are so fun to read and repeat. This is one we have read over and over again and we do not tire of it.

What a happy little book! We should all take pride in our excellent work and our special talents, and share them with others, just like Anatole did here. A sweet story.
A big hit with the kids (3 and 6) as well as the adults.

Story about a mouse who lives in Paris. Each night the male mice go into the city to go to homes and bring back cheese for their families. One night Anatole overhears the couple in the house he's getting food from. He learns that the people do not like the mice at all. This greatly disturbs Anatole who decides to do something about this. The next night he sneaks into a cheese factory and tastes every cheese. As he tastes them, he leaves a sign rating their flavor. Well, the factory owners love this. So each night Anatole returns and adds more labels and takes more cheese. Thus he is honorably earning the food for his family.
The illustrations are in black, white, red, and blue. They are attractive and clearly illustrate the story with much emotion on the mouse faces. Good story. While it is an older one I think children today will still enjoy this story and the illustrations.

Decades before Pixar released "Ratatouille", the award-winning animation about a Parisian mouse name Remy which appreciates good food and has sophisticated palate, a French writer published a children's book titled "Anatole". It tells a funny story about an honorable mouse which decided that it has its own social responsibilities towards human: working for perfection of cheese-tasting experience.

What a darling character! And what a great story. The lesson is subtle and presented through fun: fun characters, fun names/name pairings, and a fun solution. The illustrations are simple, wonderfully simple. The use of only red, white, blue, and black is beautiful. Just a fun book.
