From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5–British comedian Gervais uses a field-guide approach in this second book about the bumpy, lumpy fanciful creatures first described in Flanimals (Putnam, 2005). Four short chapters discuss The Flanimal Kingdom, Flanimal Evolution, Flanatomy, and Flanimal Behavior. A longer chapter, Spotter's Guide, identifies 17 species, from the Skwunt to the Swog Monglet. All are illustrated with homely, cross-eyed cartoon figures, as in the first volume. The broad humor of the wordplay and the garish, impudent figures may be a quick draw for reluctant readers. The book strains at being clever, but some readers may like its brevity and silliness. It could also be used to encourage children to invent their own creatures.–Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston
