UM...MOMMY, I THINK I FLUSHED MY BROTHER DOWN THE TOILET is an illustrated children's book that occurs in a world that is just a little bit different than ours. The story begins when 7-year-old Falisha Whiskers informs her mother that she just flushed her 5-year-old brother, Jesse, down the toilet. Falisha's mother is more upset than she has ever seen her and orders her to get into the toilet, bring her brother back, and get him a bath before dinner. So, Falisha flushes herself down the ceramic bowl and finds herself in the smelly Kingdom of Yuck. There are insect looking people driving cars and flying planes, but her brother doesn't seem to be anywhere around. What will Falisha do if she has lost her brother forever?The pictures in the book are cute and are a welcome accompaniment to the written text. The book is easy to read. Kids will enjoy the story for its absurdness. I enjoyed reading the story, too. I just wish it came in a regular book format instead of just being available in ebook form.
