Customer Reviews

Another year another Flanimal book
At this rate, Mr Gervais is in danger of being better remembered for his children's books than for his comedy shows.

This year's contribution to the world of Flanimals is presented as though it may be the last - the frontispiece says that this is now all that he knows about Flanimals, and the book is split into two pieces. The first piece is in the familiar style of great pictures and witty text as the phylum of Flanimal insects is covered. In a couple of places the adult in jokes are rather risqué though should be missed by the children.

The second portion details the war between the untold numbers of Bletchlings that hatch across the world and whose coming was foretold previously (as it would be). Without wanting to [SPOIL] too much, it all ends badly for the Flanimals, and the book ends by leaving nothing more to say...

Except of course for a 'maybe something new might have happened by next Christmas!'

The bonus this time round is another poster, this one recreating Jaws in the Flanimal style.

Congratulations (again) Ricky - another success!

You'll laugh until bedtime!
Darker -- but even more great drawings! Another fantastic book for kids and adults alike by illustrator Rob Steen (and that other guy). Congratulations, Rob, another triumph.

But what has happened to The Flanimals?!? My kids are heartbroken!

Looking foreard to volume 5!

Pilkie for President in '08!
America needs Karl now more than ever. In this upcoming election, we need someone who can tackle the REAL issues that keep Americans up at night. We are not concerned with our floundering economy, the "war" on terror or how we are now less popular globally than Alton Towers. We ARE worried about:
- Curfews for gays (The Killing of Georgie law)
- Snails eating our postage stamps
- Shadows that push people off of bikes
- Octopi in jam jars
- Big heads and webbed hands
- Split tennis balls
- Organized fun
- Little Turkish fellas that eyeball your girlfriends

All of these things have been ignored by our current administration. I am spearheading the "Do We Need Him?" campaign for Karl to run for the American Presidency. "Do We Need Him?" - you bet your jaffa cakes we do! Lest anyone think we can't get Karl into office, please look at who we have now. Over 50 million people voted George Dubya into office - twice! Americans obviously love and relate to the genius of being stupid. G. Dubs has got nothin' on Lil' Karly Pilkoids! Can you imagine, in a hundred years from now, Karl's little face on a ten dollar bill? Or better yet, the roundest penny ever created!

A plea to Ricky - please bring Karl to America with you this summer. We need him now more than ever before. Don't let Manchester, Kent and London (where he lives) have all the fun and that. Bring the World's Roundest Head to the Big Apple! Alright? Alright.

OOOHH!!! CHIMPANZEE THAT!!! Pilkington for PRESIDENT!!! Yer ffff...

(buy Flanimals...it's good)
