"TOOOOTHY COW!"

And so begins the second book of the Wingfeather's epic adventure! You no longer need to learn what a Fang of Dang is, nor that the enemy is Gnag the nameless, who has no name, or even what a Toothy Cow is. Book 2 jumps right into the action, no slow starts here, and the overall feel of the book is more mature. Each book has its quotable lines, and the opening line for this book gets used weekly at my house, say for example, when the whine of the school bus is a half-block away and my two middle-schoolers are dragging their feet to get out the door, you're very likely to hear me put on my best Podo impression in bellowing, "TOOOOTHY COW!"

The first chapter is titled "The Lone Fendril", and I wonder where Mr. Peterson got the idea for such an enigmatic creature. Any ideas on creature inspirations for the Lone Fendril, Toothy Cows, Fazzle Doves, and the like?
