My Review:
I read this book, and it’s a sweet book for kids, whether they read it or it is read to them. The story is entertaining, and kids learn all about animals, rodents, and people at the time of The Big Cheese roll down a hill. From the beginning, adventures start with one mouse and a rat. They figure out a way to make a raft for them to take down the river so they can be at the cheese roll. Ingenious ideas are used for paddling, a ship sail, and so much more in each chapter. A happy ending does happen, even with potential thieves planning to steal the cheese ball and make more cheese balls with chefs in France. Those would be crooks found a way to turn their evil into good, and that’s important as a concept for kids.
