A little
bit about The Big Fat Mermaid:
She's
nasty, she's gross, and she's anything but little. All Aria the mermaid
princess wants is to stuff her face full of food, but what happens when her
dad, the king, tries to stop her? The answer: laughs beyond belief! Watch as
Aria deals with her mean dad, a chubby-chasing prince, a harpoon wielding sea
captain, and, in a grand final battle, the monstrous water witch herself.
Aria will bite,
belch, and fart her way into your heart in this second installment of the Funny
Stories for Kids series, brought to you by the famed Dweezel and Pallie.
Excerpt from The Big Fat Mermaid:
“Oh, good,” said Crustacean,
swimming into a long, dark, stinking, dirty dungeon. Its cells were full of sad
looking sea citizens. “See, Tortly, dis gonna be easy! It like I always say, a
good Crustacean is a--”
Crustacean swam directly into a
shark.
The shark turned around and growled,
showing its wide smile of sharp teeth.
“Oh my!” Crustacean gasped.
“Intruders!” shouted the shark. He opened his
mouth and went to bite Crustacean.
Crustacean dodged the charging shark
with some quick swimming moves, but Tortly, behind him, was too slow. Tortly
screamed and went into his shell.
The shark caught Tortly in his
mouth. He bit down on the turtle’s shell, which became wedged in his mouth.
Crustacean come from behind now and
began pinching the shark with his lobster pincers.
“Take some of dis,” Crustacean
shouted, poking and pinching, “And some of dis! Not so tough now without you
scary teeth!”
Crustacean wound up his little red
claws and poked them both into the shark's eyes.
Dr.
