The Csillagfogok. What, you've never seen a csillagfogok?
They're pretty horrifying, actually. Not at suitable for kidlit.

The cover art and title is just a hook to get the buyer's attention.

Do they have to pay extra for vowels in some of these European countries? For example the Eyjafjallajokull volcano.

On the speak like a pirate translator,Csillagfogok actually means:
Ya scurvy cur who ortin' t' be keel hauled!
Which in modern English means Peter is about to get his a$$ kicked.

It's an acronym for "Can't Say I Laughed Loudly At Gene For Ongoing Gyppy Oosik Keening."

Posted by: nursecindy | April 30, 2010 at 01:56 PM
Heck Tash, I even said it was horrifying. I mean, what, do I have to say "Don't click on this picture of Barry" for you to be completely safe?
Posted by: wiredog | April 30, 2010 at 01:59 PM

Spell it right: "Csìllågfögøk"
The møøse insists on it...

I suppose Smee gets to clean up all that stuff Peter's doing all over the deck.

C.S. Illagfogok is author of The Lion, The Witch and the Ngratlobtolok.

It's Welsh for "puppy".
Posted by: bonmot | April 30, 2010 at 04:16 PM
So, Csillag means "Star" in Hungarian.
What's with the gofok?
Posted by: billy | April 30, 2010 at 04:38 PM
The Hungarian reviewers were rhapsodic.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | April 30, 2010 at 04:46 PM
Is this even legal?
Posted by: Suzy Q | April 30, 2010 at 05:20 PM
Cindy, all the vowels washed overboard at sea.
Posted by: Steve | April 30, 2010 at 05:45 PM
Wiredog, MUCH better.... I just can't explain it, I see the nice bright word and I just can't help clicking....
Posted by: Tash | April 30, 2010 at 06:38 PM
Hey! That was the verification word I had to type for my last post!
Posted by: Lairbo | April 30, 2010 at 08:27 PM

Posted by: Loudmouth | April 30, 2010 at 09:29 PM
I'm more concerned about the green chunky stuff leaking from Peters' bottom.
