I don't like cheese

Hannah Chandler

Book - 2014

Mike the mouse isn't like other mice. He just won't eat cheese. Fortunately, Ashley, the little human girl who lives in the house, feeds him lots of tasty treats: like pizza and tacos. But, hold on, don't those have cheese in them? This delightful picture book explores how even the fussiest eaters can be tempted to try new flavours. And, if you're anything like Mike, you might find you develop quite a taste for international cuisine along the way!

Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-Little mouse Mike refuses all cheese offered by Mama Mouse but will eat anything offered by his human friend Ashley including sushi, pizza, tacos, and croissants. When Ashley goes on vacation and Mike is forced by his growling tummy to try cheese, he is surprised to realize that he LOVES it. He decides to always sample what his mother offers him but still indulge in the occasional treat from Ashley. The text has some obvious Briticisms and unfolds in a predictable manner. There are no surprises here, and the ending is heavy-handed and preachy. The illustrations are basic watercolors that support the text. VERDICT A suitable addition. For picky eaters, stick with Mitchell Sharmat's Gregory the Terrible Eater (Four Winds, 1984), Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham (Random, 1988), or even Russell Hoban's Bread and Jam for Frances (HarperCollins, 2008).-Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD © Copyright 2015.
