Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood



I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

The Flim-Flam Fairies

by Alan Katz

The Flim-Flam Fairies Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

“A Royal Stinkfest!”

—Fairy Queen of Snots

“What a gas!”

—Fairy O. Hara, author of Gone Is the Wind

“This book makes great reading—and even better toilet paper!”

—I.C. Butts, President of S.T.I.N.K. (Society to Inform Nice Kids)

Say the word “fairies” and it conjures up images of little winged beings made of gossamer and light, exquisitely dressed in shimmering gowns or twirly, little bejeweled skating costumes. Well, you haven’t met The Flim-Flam Fairies. Be prepared for the crazy antics of the Fart Fairy, Snot Fairy, Dirty Underwear Fairy, as well as a few other less-than-enchanting fairies as they persuade their way into and out of children’s lives in attempts to take over the Tooth Fairy’s under-the-pillow enterprise. A silly story that will have the kids howling into their pillows with laughter!

My son, who is not much of a reader, ate this book up. He loved the grossness of the different fairies; especially the Fart Fairy.
I enjoyed the illustrations and the creative way Katz jumps from one fairy to the next. This is a must on all bookshelves: kids and adults alike.
