The Cheese

This is a great book...my child loves it so much he'd actually worn out his previous copy. So we looked to Amazon to find a new one.The book took quite a while to arrive, and when it did, it was obviously marked as part of a public library's collection. I believe the book may have been stolen, as the library had not marked the book as sold or destroyed, as they often do when removing a book from their collection.We sent it straight back to the library it originated from, and will now have to find another copy, and pay for it again.Perhaps Amazon should look into it's sellers a bit better?

This book has been a GREAT reading for our entire family, especially when I throw in goofy sounding voices for the Mouse, Dog, and other characters in this fast moving story. Now we won't have to keep checking it out from our town, or school, library.Be sure to SING ALONG at the end of the story for lots of true enjoyment, and create a GOOFY voices of your own."The CHEESE stands alone,The Cheese stands alooone....."

This book is really a very humourous spoof of the song "The Farmer in the Dell." It basically gives you the rats point of view wondering as to why he shouldn't go down to the dell to eat the cheese! Along the way he encounters the characters from the song who tell him he cannot go down and eat this cheese "because the cheese stands alone!" Beautiful illustrations. It is also a nominee for Washington State Childrens Choice Picture Book.

Cute book

the farmer in the dell was a song i taught in elementary school. this real cute book is what if the cheese wanted to stand alone. illustrations are cute, easy to read to children and fun.

We orignally took this book out ot the library for my grandson.He thoroughly enjoyed it and we had to read it too him repeatedly. Decided to purchase it for his 3rd birthday. He was so excited that it was his book and he could keep it. The Cheese

Great take on the farmer in the dell funny and my grand kids adore it they want me to read it to them all the time.

JK kiddos LOVED this story.
