Anatole
Eve Titus
- Reading
- Enjoy the cheese-tasting details together; invite your child to imagine a note for a cheese, then compare it with Anatole’s precise judgements.
- Themes
- Resourcefulness and contribution: Anatole wants to provide for his family and responds to human objections about mice sampling leftovers by offering the cheese factory his tasting opinions. The story presents his honest, useful contribution favourably: workers value his advice and want to reward him.
- Worth knowing
- Anatole is shocked that humans object to mice sampling leftovers.
