How can one ignore a book with this very telling title?  We know how kids love to flush sundry items (that shouldn't be) down the toilet.  Author Jeff Rivera has taken this scenario and really treats the reader and children to a very humorous story.  Falisha Whiskers, on purpose, decides to flush her bothersome little brother down the toilet.  What's a mom to do?  This mom says, "Falisha, you are going to go down this toilet and bring your brother home."  Thus Falisha takes the plunge and travels through scum, mud, and debris to another dimension.  I have to share the impact this imaginative story had on me.  I had downloaded it on my Kindle while hubby and I were having a late breakfast at a very popular restaurant.  I had to take a peek at it and started to read it to him.  I was laughing so loud, people were staring.  I laughed so hard that tears ran down my cheeks as my omelette grew cool.  I have to believe that this very imaginative author must be very popular in his family when he shares his stories with children.  Personally, I think readers will get great amusement themselves as they read this story to children.  His book is perfect in that children's books should have wit and wisdom.  The author has provided these merits.  It's a story once read, will never be forgotten.  Great, great job, Jeff Rivera.
