Anatole and the Cat

The series of Anatole books livened up the ritual of bedtime stories for our family 40 years ago! We love it still with the unique Frenchness of the mouse Anatole's reaction to tasting cheeses.

Beautifully presented book, with lovely illustrations. A very amusing story. Children love it!

A great and original children's book

Special delivery for our new born boy

I loved this book as a small child - it now sits on my 5 year old daughter's shelf and is a regular bedtime favourite. Anatole, head cheese taster in the Fromagerie Duval, is disturbed at work one night by -quelle horreur - a cat. Discover how he and his assistant Gaston deal with the feline threat... The book is charmingly written, with lots of Parisian style and atmosphere, even down to the turn of phrase. Now I know it's still available I think various godchildren and small cousins will be getting a copy in due course!

Als Kind bekam ich das erste Buch von Anatole (wurde vermutlich ausgeliehen und kam nicht zurück). Um den Enkelkindern diese rührenden Geschichten vorzulesen, habe ich die Anatole-Bücher bestellt. Leider sind die Bücher mit deutscher Sprache sündhaft teuer, da Sammlerstücke. Also wird, je nach Wunsch, erstmal satzweise englisch vorgelesen und dann übersetzt. Die Zeichnungen sind sehr sehr schön sind - ich mag die Bücher nach wie vor sehr gern lesen bzw. vorlesen.

Die Anatole Bücher sind Klassiker. Inspiration zu dem Film Ratatouille.

Terrific

In the age of children seeking superheroes, Anatole is a refreshingly delightful one. His super power, other than his expertise with smelling and tasting cheeses, is his willingness to think through problems and solve them. My grandsons are huge fans. So am I.Highly recommend this all of the Anatole books. I only wish I had known of them when my children were little.

I gave the first book of this series; Anatole, to a family with one French parent and one American parent and it was a big hit with the parents and the three toddlers so the next holiday I gave them Anatole and The Cat which was also very enthusiastically received.Anatole and the Cat reinforces the concept of honor, hard work and problem solving that was introduced in the first book of the series; Anatole. The book about a Parisian mouse has been translated into English but still includes some french words that the children love to hear and repeat. Anatole really is a Mouse Magnifique!

This is my all time favorite children's book. I have an original hardback copy. I bought one on here for a baby shower where they asked for books instead of cards and it came with the cover ripped. Very disappointed. I will mend it and give it away anyway. Super upset. I was so excited

Perfect for four years old!

I'm super happy with the quality of this book! It said it was in good condition. I would say it was in like new condition.

The first Anatole book is one of my favorites but this one was disappointing.

Love the Anatole books. Got this for a new baby.

This is one of my favorite children's book series, when I was little I loved reading about Anatole and his adventures.

It's a nice book that continues the story of Anatole at the cheese factory. The first book was nicer, but this is a must if you liked the first one. Introduces a clever way of catching the cat and Anatole is once again the hero. Drawings are wonderful in red white and blue.

My order of Anatole and the Cat came promptly. The book was just what i expected.

We love the first Anatole book, so this one was a no-brainer. Anatole is great, but Gaston is my favorite.

Simple story with a creative twist to it.Very French in a delightfully innocent way.My girls, 6 and 7 loved it.
