Kind of cute. I do really like the idea of using "the farmer in the dell" to question authority.
BUT the payoff at the end was a little anti-climactic. I expected something big, like maybe the cheese stood alone because it was a rabid piece of attack cheese, and it was for the protection of the rest of the farm, or maybe it was quarantined because of a rare cheese-disease that turns all who taste it into additional chunks of cheese!
Alas, neither of those were the real outcome, and I was left a little disappointed in the saccharine ending.

A fun spin on the "Farmer in the Dell" that will have children giggling.

Adorable! A take on the old song, The Farmer in the Dell. As everyone knows, the Cheese stands alone...until a single rat decides that is a silly song and the cheese should not stand alone!

Great idea for a picture book! I especially loved the words and phrases worked into the illustrations. This made me want to go find and read every book by Margie Palatini.
