Who Cut the Cheese? (Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder)
In this follow-up to Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder (2010), there’s more Norwegian farce as Nilly, Lisa, and Doctor Proctor must overcome evil using their incredible inventions, including a powder that causes eruptions of the supersonic variety. This time creatures from outer space, using a television singing competition, take over the Norwegian government and threaten war with Denmark. The advantages of a constitutional monarchy are revealed as the king steps in and saves the day. Some readers may find that the length of the book is not a good match for the frothy plot. Still, large helpings of whimsy, humerous black-and-white illustrations, and the occasional fart joke, provide plenty of silliness. Grades 4-7. --Todd Morning
