Going to the best cheese shop in Paris, absolument.

But pigs going to the best cheese shop in Paris? I wasn't aware that pigs were known for having exquisite palates. Nonetheless, I'm game to enjoy this fantasy trip.

Okay, having taken the trip with the cute little pigs... To this Goodreads reviewer, certain words come to mind like:

* Cliche-ridden
* Slickly commercial
* Improbable, even for picture book fiction
* High concept (Coming from me, not a compliment)
* Underlying tone? Insincere.

Just my perspective. But, to me, this reads like a product, like merchandise, not like a book.

Quelle domage: Just THREE STARS.

Toot and Puddle: The Great Cheese Chase by National Geographic is not nearly as good nor as charming as the Toot and Puddle books written by Hollie Hobbie, nor are the illustrations as cute. I was disappointed.
