I bought this books whilst on vacation in London and absolutely love it! It's been a huge sucess in the UK and deserves the same in the US. One thing I would like to point out to potential buyers - it's a children's book. As an adult I love it - it's clever word play is fun for any age and the unique illustrations would make me laugh even unaccompanied by text - but it's intended audience is kids. What I see starting here is what you'll see if you look at the reviews on Amazon UK - a complete split between 1 star and 5 star reviews. In virtually every case the people who didn't like the book are adults who purchased it expecting it to have been written for adult fans of The Office and this really isn't what this book is about at all. It's fun, it's silly, it's imaginative. All the children I've shown it to have immediately been hooked ("Draw Your Own Flanimal" is fast becoming the hot game to play amongst all my friend's kids). I look foward to meeting the Bletching, the Gernloid and the Weezy Tong Nambler in the future but in the meantime I must just go and see if I can prize that Underblenge off the fridge door...

I ordered two copies of this book at amazon.co.uk as a Christmas gift for the kids of two friends, and it was a big hit, especially for the two girls, who are 9 and 10 years old. Their younger siblings (5 and 6) also liked it. Very silly, but the right kind of silliness for 3rd and 4th graders, with great pictures and even better made-up words that aptly describe these silly creatures. Parents will have fun reading this book with their children, I think.

My son will not shut up about flanimals. Everywhere we go he tells people about them. Every 5 minutes he tells me about some flanimal that eats some other or turns into some flanimal that... Oi!
Be prepared to have your child totally consumed by flanimals. Thanks god it isn't a collecting card game!! If only there was more flanimal books. Or perhaps a flanimal sound proof room!
Parents, buy this book! It all about weird made up creatures, kind of like a funny encyclopedia of monsters. Kids love it.
What I have done to stem the tide of flanimalism is to give my kid pen and paper and say "now YOU make your own flanimals!"
Buy it and Try it!!

I love reading this with my kids!
This is a brilliant book that my kids love as much as I do. We already have a lot of Flanimals 'insider' jokes we share together. What a gift this book is!
