Consider Anatole by Eve Titus.
“Anatole is a tidy, gently comic children's fable about an honorable mouse who earns his family's supper by leaving tasting notes at a cheese factory.

Limitation: the plot and phrasing are repetitive and restrained, so adult readers seeking narrative richness or modern pacing may find it slight.”
