Call me daft, but I just love the Flanimals. Sure, a lot of them are very ugly, many too big for me (and the handy size comparison chart with each of the indispensable volumes so far always alerts me to which is big enough to eat me whole), and some have awful gloop to spread around, but on the whole I would actually appreciate some of these creatures living in my neck of the woods. Take the Zub, a newly introduced insectoid Flanimal. It just looks so cute in the picture, and the typically excellent illustrations have had their sharp lines, cute (or nasty) eyes and bold colours added to with delicate insect wings. If the illustrator, Rob Steen, had his name anywhere near as prominent as Ricky Gervais does on these books the world would be a fairer one.
