I was hoping the lure of a story with cheese would get my niece involved and it didn’t. He thought a mouse orchestra was pretty funny. He’s not overly familiar with the Pied Piper, so to him it was a good story. He likes all the little mice and he loved seeing all the children. The nephew enjoys a good Anatole story too. I don’t know why I love Anatole so much, but I think these stories are very fun. I know this is a version of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, but it’s also so Anatole and French. This is one of the last Anatole that Eve wrote and she still has unique situations to put her mice in. I love that kind of solution if it works.


It’s funny and uses music as the solution to the problem. They hold the man’s flute hostage and free everyone.Īs a musician, I love this story. They enlist an orchestra and put on a concert. Anatole and his wife come up with a plan to save the children. He cages the children and they help him write better music. He was told that mice are very good judges of music and he wants to win a music competition. A group of mice is mousenipped by a flute playing man with a plan.
