Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-25 00:00:00 Harley Crow Booklist (November 15, 2005 (Vol. 102, No. 6)) Gr. 5-8. Fidget the penguin, a pair of daffy narrators, assorted evildoers, overly domesticated turkeys, and scenes from a small-town America that hopefully will never come to pass combine to keep the action in high gear in this collection of graphic-novel tales. Although author-artistFriesen is only 17 ("I began my cartooning career at age 12"), the comedy here is a cut above sophomoric high jinks, and his crisp artwork pays skillful, energetic homage to mid-twentieth-century black-and-white television cartoons. The two parts of the titular cheese tale bookend several unrelated vignettes, but the overall flow of the volume is smooth and nicely edited. The typeface is bold, and the panels are generous, so it's easy to find the details that make the verbal patter three-dimensional. With nothing risque and plenty of interesting goings-on, this will be welcomed by kids and by librarians alike.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-05 00:00:00 Ashley Levine This is OK. It jumps around so much that an episode of Spongebob Squarepants looks quite linear when compared to it.
