Product Description

Product Description

The latest volume in the glorious bestiary "Flanimals" features the prolific class of flying, crawling invertebrates collectively known as Blugs - The endless variety of Movs, Bants and Zubs. The metamorphosis from Monk Worm to Frag Drier, and the evil incarnate that is the Bletchling. The book is a compulsive bed-time reading for children and disturbed adults alike - Night, night - And mind the Blugs don't bite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another year another Flanimal book, 22 Oct 2007
By Mist of Time "Mist of Time" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another belter, 6 Nov 2007
By Flan Fan (California, USA) - See all my reviews
It's a great shame if the Flanimals books get lumped in with the current fad for celebrity-created children's books. Gervais and Steen have really gone from strength to strength with the first three books and "Flanimals: The Day of the Bletchling" doesn't disappoint.

In this fourth book we meet yet more mind-boggling Flanimals, but best of all we finally meet the repulsive Bletchling...and boy do we meet a lot of them! Epic battles ensue, Flans unite, much goo is squirted, and, having said all that, surprisingly there are actually some rather touching moments.

One of my favourite things about the Flanimals books is that once you've read them the first time you can go back again and again and still be spotting new things you didn't notice before, tucked away in Steen's amazingly detailed artwork. I see there's also a special Christmas box set coming up - I'm hoping to get one in my stocking this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll laugh until bedtime!, 1 Nov 2007
By Richard Starkings "hipflask" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
