UM...MOMMMY, I THINK I FLUSHED MY BROTHER DOWN THE TOILET (AGAIN): RETURN TO YUCK KINGDOM PART 2-THE SEQUEL begins in much the same way that UM...MOMMY, I THINK I FLUSHED MY BROTEHR DOWN THE TOILET began. Falisha Whiskers has once again flushed her younger brother, Jesse, down the toilet for calling her names. Her mother orders her to go back down the drain and retrieve her brother before their Daddy gets home, otherwise Mommy is going to tell Daddy what Falisha did to Jesse. So, armed this time in a raincoat and with a backpack made of toilet paper, Falisha travels down the porcelain tube and arrives in the Yuck Kingdom. Even though things smell just as bad, there's something wrong with the Yuck Kingdom. Falisha befriends one of the cockroach people (called Slumpies) and learns that the Toilet Paper King has captured and imprisoned many of the Slumpies as well as Jesse! Can Falisha save her brother Jesse from the prison of the Toilet Paper King and return home before her Daddy arrives for dinner?Like the first book, the illustrations are cute and accompany the written text well. The book is easy to read. Also, this time around there's a lot more rhyming that happens (mostly because of the Slumpies). Kids will enjoy the story for its absurdness, but adults might actually enjoy reading it with their children, too. Like the original, I wish it came in a regular format instead of just being available in ebook form.
