In this sequel to "Um . . . Mommy, I Think I Flushed My Brother Down the Toilet" Rivera once again has Falisha flushing her obnoxious younger brother Jesse down the toilet. Her mother is furious at her and demands that she go down the toilet and bring him back. Once again giving herself a swirly, Falisha travels the sewer pipes down to the smelly Yuck Kingdom.Once there, she must face down the evil Toilet Paper King that has kidnapped Jesse and has terrorized the disgusting bugs that inhabit the Yuck Kingdom. In addition to the giggles that the thought of going down a toilet will elicit in the young reader, there is also the nonsensical rhyming that is consistently used. Phrases such as "That's Urpie Burbie, cause when I urpie burpie, I burpie urpie." and "That's Slumpy Bumpies cause when we slumpy bumpy we bumpy slumpy."Children love to read and say nonsense rhymes and this book provides many of them for their practice and enjoyment. When my daughter was young she loved it when I read rhymes to her and she repeated them over and over again. This is a book that she would have loved had I read it to her. It is almost certain that I would have gotten sick of reading it as she would have insisted that I read it over and over again.
