Young readers will enjoy following the story of the four little characters, Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw, who make their way through a maze looking for the "Magical Cheese" that makes them happy. And once they find the Cheese, it seems like it will last forever-until one morning when everything changes. Who moved their Cheese? Will it come back? Or will they have to look for different Cheese, venturing onto strange paths, around corners they've never explored? As children follow these friends through the maze of change, they can try to figure out which character they're most like-or which they most admire-and what their own Magical Cheese might be.

Critics of Johnson's bestselling Who Moved My Cheese? for grown-ups complained about its oversimplification and lack of substance. The fact that glad-handed managers sometimes gave the book to employees fearing for their jobs didn't help either. However, in a kids book that simplicity doesn't grate as much and Johnson's cartoonish characters--sneaker-wearing mice Sniff and Scurry and the tentative Hem and Haw, ever in search of "cheese" in the "maze"--look right at home alongside the rest of Steve Pileggi's crude illustrations.
Of course, Johnson's homily might seem even less applicable to kids than it is to adults and some of Haw's "Handwriting on the Wall" (such as "smell the cheese often so you know when it's getting old") will likely prove too abstract. Then again, kids face more changes than most adults and they often have fewer tools to deal with them. If nothing else, Johnson's message on "How to deal with change--and win!" is at least a slight improvement on the more time-honoured "Shut up and deal". The book is aimed at children aged 9-12. --Paul Hughes, Amazon.com
