Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg has begun writing a series of children's books, say reports.

The 'Sensual Seduction' rapper is working on a selection of stories entitled Where's The Cheese, according to AllHipHop.

Where's The Cheese will focus on the adventures of Lil Mouse and is targeted at children growing up in urban environments. Dogg's cousin Joe Cool is illustrating the books.

It was revealed last month that the musician was working on a pilot for Comedy Central telling the story of his childhood growing up in the '80s.
