What is Glonk's favorite pastime? If a Puddloflaj's eyes pop out why can't it pick them up? The Plamglotis only eats two things in its entire life. What are they? Why don't you know the answers? What's wrong with you? Anyway. Help is at hand from Ricky Gervais.
My son will not shut up about flanimals. Everywhere we go he tells people about them. Every 5 minutes he tells me about some flanimal that eats some other or turns into some flanimal that... Oi! Be prepared to have your child totally consumed by flanimals. Thanks god it isn't a collecting card game!! If only there was more flanimal books. Or perhaps a flanimal sound proof room! Parents, buy this book! It all about weird made up creatures, kind of like a funny encyclopedia of monsters. Kids love it. What I have done to stem the tide of flanimalism is to give my kid pen and paper and say "now YOU make your own flanimals!" Buy it and Try it!!
He should make a Flanimals II!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
"He should make a Flanimals II." is the quote from my six year old. Amazingly, we have read this book 6 times in the first twelve hours of owning it. During this time I have had 9, 10, 11, and 13 year olds enjoying it just as much. I even overheard the older "cool" ones discussing the creatures within. We are in for many more days of Ricky Gervais' clever world -- luckily I am loving every minute of it. Just an aside, younger children may need some coaching with reading this independenly as there are many made up names that need to be sounded out phonetically and there is definitely a British tone. Most appropriate for second grade readers and up. I, actually, would probably have bought this book for myself even without children -- the little girl inside loves it!!
Great CHILDREN'S Book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The above review is completely wrong and useless. Whoever wrote it doesn't understand that the book was based towards kids. It is a great, creative book that dives into the realm of strange, fantasy like creatures. The pictures are very well drawn and the names and captions are entertaining and funny. Kids, as well as many teens and adults, will enjoy this book. Ricky Gervais did a great job on this book, and everybody should go and check it out.
