Pass Me the Cheese

Caroline von Bibra Illustrated by Caterina Angeloni

A laugh-out-loud rhyming tale of mice, cheese, and one very hungry cat!

Cyril the Mouse is obsessed with cheese and will do anything to get a bite! But Sybil has other plans. From ballet leaps to cheese sculptures, camembert dives to a fondue shoe, Cyril’s cheesy dreams are always just out of reach. Then a sly cat joins the chase, and Cyril discovers that maybe too much cheese isn’t such a gouda idea after all. Packed with silly rhymes, lively illustrations, and fascinating cheese facts, Pass the Cheese is a feast of fun for readers who love humour, animals, and a big dollop of nonsense.
 

  • A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud rhyming story that captures children’s love of silliness and wordplay.
  • Blends imaginative antics with fascinating real-world cheese facts, making it both entertaining and educational.
  • Bold, humorous, and detailed illustrations that transform cheese into wacky scenes—from skating on parmesan to camembert diving—keeping children engaged on every page.

Caroline von Bibra worked as television journalist before taking up a full-time position making lunchboxes and taxiing her children to activities. She now juggles watching ballet eisteddfods and AFL games with her passion for writing, often finding inspiration in her children’s imaginative play. Caroline holds a Master of Journalism and is completing a Graduate Diploma in Psychology. When she isn’t writing, you’ll find her perfecting her pirouettes or trying to dodge the defence in her local social netball league.
