[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

To really enjoy this story you need to examine all the pictures up close and read all the dialog boxes. It could be funny to the right kid, but I found it to be just meh.

Punny.

[Bea Elwood · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's the play on words -in the kitchen- that is entertaining

Very punny.

[Virginia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely punny, but fun food adventure.

[Libby In Libraryland]

All that is appealing about fairy tales and food fiction rolled into one hilarious battle between fresh and rotten.

[Jason]

Way too many bad puns and mostly at the expense of any kind of compelling story.
