What do you do when you have an annoying younger sibling? According to Falisha Whiskers, you flush them down the toilet.When I first started reading this, I had to put it down. I personally wouldn't have purchased it for my children. The toilet wasn't something that we played with growing up, let alone wanted to flush each other down. We experienced sibling rivalry but handled it differently. With my own children, the only time my girls played in the bathroom was in the bathtub at bath time. So I was initially offended because my mind went into a totally different area. I walked away from this book long enough to talk with other moms to see if they could enlighten me on the fascination with the toilet. It was then that I was able to come back and complete the book. Once I was able to disconnect my personal feelings and think outside the box, "Um...Mommy I Think I Flushed My Brother Down the Toilet" was a quick read with nice illustrations. It's a story that appeals to a child's imagination. A great lesson is taught in the end.Reviewed by: Jas
