Imagine Chester’s surprise when he wakes up one morning to find a green pig in his backyard. His immediate reaction is that no one is going to believe him so when the pig runs out of the yard, Chester follows. After a while, it seems like the pig is leading Chester somewhere in particular. This fact is validated then the pig speaks.
Green Pig, what else could his name possibly be, takes Chester to a world where all the animals and plants speak. They all have cleaver names like Sheriff Wet Pants McTumble-Dry, Hissing Steam-Iron, Dr. Paddy O’Chair, etc. Everyone needs Chester’s help, the Fat Food Fairy has been capturing children using delicious pizza and chocolate desserts to trap them.
Chester and the Green Pig is a fun adventure. It was quite a chuckle.
