Great
Cheese Robbery

This
British import features anthropomorphized elephants with a subtle nod
to Babar. Patrick Elephant looks up to his Daddy who isn't scared of
anything, except, of course, for mice. When a cheeky mouse arrives at
their doorstep and demands to inspect their household supply of
cheese, Daddy Elephant is unable to stop cowering long enough to stop
him.
Before they know it, an army of hungry mice arrive to remove the
rest of their food, their refrigerator and most of Patrick's toys,
ostensibly for “health and safety” reasons. Fortunately, Mommy
Elephant arrives just in time to save the day and restore order.
Warmly hued endpapers use a repeating elephant design.
