There has been a spate of cheese thefts in the city resulting in severe shortages. Fingers are being pointed at the notorious cheese thief, Fingers McGraw after an artist's impression shows that the thief looks remarkably like a mouse. Matters are so serious that there is no choice but to bring Detective Jumbo Wayne Jnr out of retirement to track down the pesky rodent. Jumbo is big, but as he's an elephant that's really not surprising. Fingers needs to find somewhere to hide and eat his cheese (and he'd like your help in this matter) but Jumbo is determined to have his mouse.

If this type of book appeals to you child then you might also like to try [[:Category:Chris Riddell|Chris Riddell's]] [[Ottoline and the Yellow Cat]] which also marries art and narrative or the imcomparable [[This Land is Your Land]] by Woody Guthrie.
