The French mouse is back in a new story. And, it won an award for this sequel, which is impressive getting the Caldecott Honor this time. This is something about a mouse or rat in Paris I guess. It makes for good storytelling.

Anatole and Gaston are in the cheese factory when they hear a cat upstairs. It impairs their work no doubt and they give bad suggestions being nervous and they leave early. Anatole loves his job so he decides to figure out a way to put a bell around the cats neck so that he can keep working. We also see he can type and he and Monsieur Duval send letters back and forth.

The artwork is the same style as the first with only the red white and blue colors. Seeing the children piled on a bike is also very cute.

The children thought Anatole was very brave and they got so nervous with the cat around for the safety of the mice. They know the character now and they enjoyed this story again. So they both gave this 4 stars.
