An interesting children's graphic novel. I couldn't resist the cheese on the cover but was somewhat disappointed with some typos and what I considered to be a poor choice of font for the text. I liked the cassowary character. The plot is utter chaos, so worry not, parents; your child will only be exposed to comedic mayhem.

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.

This book has everything, evil genuises, detective Godzilla, soda, penguins, egg-flavored gum, and LOTS more. If you're a fan of any graphic novel, give this a shot.

This is OK. It jumps around so much that an episode of Spongebob Squarepants looks quite linear when compared to it.
