Book Description

7 Oct 2004

'I read this book just days before my final Flanimal exam and passed with flying colours. Thank you, Mr Gervais.' Alison Page, University of Dorking

'It sent my child mental. You haven't heard the last of this.' Rebecca Fellows, Richmond, Surrey

Loads of Flanimals were hurt in the making of this book.

Meet the Plamglotis who, born without feet, swallows its hands to walk on looking for food. Unfortunately, when it finds food it can't eat because its mouth is already full.

The Underblenge has a snerbulent splench sucker that captures prey by sticking to their face and suffocating them, as its suckers are impossible to prize off. Unfortunately it can't catch anything as it can't move from the rock it was born on.

The Grundit, who staggers around half-witted and grumpy causing trouble. Its favourite hobby is to use . . . the Puddloflaj as a mode of transport. (The Baby Puddloflaj, incidentally, can be used as a water bomb).

There are 35 characters to get to know. Each one is introduced in stunning full-colour with the help of Rob Steen's remarkable, original and modern artwork which was created using a combination of traditional media and computer techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars my nickname is flanifan 29 Oct 2008
A Kid's Review
Format:Audio CD
This is two flanimal books combined in one cd. Ricky gervais is fantastic. Ive listened to this a thousand times and every time I feel like my sides are gonna explode. Ricky is so negative and funny that I think this cd should be givven out to everyone so they all are a part of the glory of flanimals! I cant tell you how good this CD is it is better than the books because you get it read to by the most hilarious man alive, it is so funny that as soon as I saw I did so many chores to get the money I raised it in a day. That said you might not like it but if you dont like it your what we call boring!

Format:Hardcover
As a man-child with seven children of my own, I seldom need to buy many new books or children's clothes, as my wife and I have acquired more than enough over the last ten years. But while on business in London I picked up this book in the airport, since I'm such a huge fan of the Office, and man was I not disappointed. I paged through it on the plane back to the states and actually laughed, which I seldom do at kids books. Not only that, my youngest loves it too... because I've seen him reading it on his own. Normally I have to do all the work.

Anyway, it's a pretty great book and the illustrations are hilarious.
