The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-03-22, Page 261l1 PAGE 8A—GODERICH SIGNAL-tSTAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1979 The Mouse Magnifique is a cheese taster BY CAROLINE E. CASS Iff you enjoyed the adventures of Paddington last week, then you'll want to be sure to laugh along with the antics of the characters in; ,the following picture books. Anatole, world-famous Cheese Taster, hailed as the Mouse Magnifique, fa,ces a perplexing problem deep down in- side a big grand piano1 He longs for a piano of his own until he finds one in the Musee de la Musique. Alas, the tiny treasure belongs to the Museum. Can it ever be his? Find out how brave Anatole helps a hundred Paris orphans and is •sur- prisingly rewarded at the same time in "Anatole and the Piano". , Muffin finds out what an awful feeling it is to have his eyes covered by a'bandage when he gets a cinder in his eye. But, Muffin can hear and what he hears is shown in the pictures and you can provide the appropriate noise and have a won- derful time doing so. What do you think goes squeak, squeak, squeak in "The Noisy Book?" In contrast to ad- mirable Anatole and Muffin, Ralph and Yak find themselves in all sorts of trouble in "Worse Than Rotten, Ralph" and "Yakety Yak Yak Yak". These books have a comic -strip flavour with their wildly coloured illustrations and slang - like dialogue. Yak drives all his riders crazy with his incessant talking, until he drives his taxi right into a big hole! Yak thinks nobody has time to listen anymore, but Walrus and Rabbit and Camel think differently! Unlike Yak, Ralph makes up his mind to stay out of trouble for once. Then along comes a gang of alley cats who call him "Softy". To prove he knows how to be rotten, he leads the group off jumping, scaring, smashing, throwing pies and chasing poodles. When it's all over, Ralph thinks maybe good is best after all. Ronald Dahl, of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" fame will provide you with more laughter and suspense in a new book Dear Captain Comet, My name is Christy Bricker.
