About this title

Synopsis

"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.
