Anatole—"the mouse of action, the mouse of honor, the mouse magnifique"—never turns his back on a problem. This time he takes to the air. But his flight is not planned, and that adds to the excitement!

One day Anatole finds a giant kite. He thinks only of the fun that it will bring his six charming children and carries it home. But a sudden wind whips the kite into the sky and sends the whole family sailing high above Paris.

How Anatole conquers the air will delight all Anatole's fans. And, as always, Paul Galdone's pictures are tres magnifique.
