Simple and hilarious. Love the play on words.

Couldn't help liking this not so subtle tale of the pig who constantly "cuts the cheese." The story serves us many different expressions for "cutting the cheese" - of course a few of those might be objectionable to some parents. Other somewhat archaic expressions (but funny here especially when paired up with the gassy sayings) are "jeez," "Jimminy Jasper," and "Whoa, Nellie." Not so much cute but funny espcially for boys and reluctant readers. Simple but colorful pictures - using green clouds to show "the cheese being cut."

Easily the best book about farting animals I have ever read. I'm not sure if that's high praise. But it is praise, I guess.

It managed to be both funny and cute and offer a redeeming (if obvious) message.

Also, it has a pig, so +1 for that.

Gave me a good laugh! I want to write/illustrate a book like this someday.
