Part two of Jeff Rivera's toiletcentric ebooks has a repeat of Falisha Whiskers flushing her little brother Jess down the toilet and being ordered by mother to fetch him. Falisha complies, only this time when she reaches the sewers she cannot find Jesse.  She meets the creatures of the sewer: `What are you, a slug?" one asked me in a hurry. He brushed right up against me, leaving a layer of green and brown slime on my skin. "Hey!" I said. "Moody Loody--that should be your name!" `"Don't give me any attitude!" he told me. "I'm not the one with the attitude. You are!" I pointed my finger in his face. "You are!" he answered back, pointing his finger at my finger and then he let out a giant burp that echoed and made the whole kingdom jumble and frumble and mumble and shake all over. "Ew!!" I said, plugging my nose, "Gross! Don't you have any manners?" He looked at me as if he didn't know what he had done wrong. "What is your name anyway?" I asked him. "My name is Urpie," he said, "That's Urpie Burpie. Cause when I urpie burpie, I burpie urpie." "Huh?" "That's Urpie, that's Urpie Burpie.  Cause when I urpie burpie, I burpie urpie." "Urpie?" I asked. "Urpie Burpie." he said. "Cause when you urpie burpie, you burpie urpie? That doesn't make any sense," I mumbled. "You got it!" he said with a smile, his teeth were all brown and jagged like he hadn't been to a dentist in a hundred years.'That gives you the `flavor' of the experiences contained here.  Falisha engages her new friends who agree to help her rescue Jesse from the Toilet Paper King and once again the siblings return home - a bit wiser this time.This is another fun outing for kids with imagination and a giggle for things having to do with bathroom accoutrements. Once again, the illustrations of Danko Herrera add sparkle!  Grady Harp, January 13
