Cheese loving mice Horace, Morris, and Dolores live and breathe cheese until Dolores suddenly becomes allergic to it before the 1st Annual Everything Cheese Festival. Dolores and her mother work hard to become cheese-free. In the end, Dolores becomes a cheese-free gourmet after one last allergy attack brought on by the temptation of the upcoming Everything Cheese Festival.

Amy Walrod’s “cheesy” illustrations make this book a visual delight: Movie posters  of “Gorgonzola’s Revenge” and “Dr. Cheddar and Mr. Hyde” outside of the Muenster Movie Madness theater, an orange cheese ball machine (instead of the usual gumball machine), Delores’ x-ray full of wedges of cheese, a cafe’ with tables made of giant wheels of cheese, and sitting around a cheese fondue pot under the night stars.
