Illustrated by
Steven Kellogg.
Mary Jane's cat has a special talent: musical farting. Marty gains worldwide renown as he travels the globe, farting out musical tunes inspired by the international cuisine he eats. Kellogg's colorful illustrations are as intricate and silly as ever; though the rhyming text's meter falters a bit and the story relies heavily on the flatulence gimmick, kids are sure to laugh.
