About the Book
Reviews

Hieronymus Betts certainly has some very unusual pets. All of his pets are gruesome and disgusting, but Hieronymus knows of something slimier than Slugapotamus, fiercer than the grizzly hare and greedier than the Sabre-Toothed Rhino Toad! Dare you read this book to find out?

Robertson's illustrations of the 'pets' are incredibly imaginative amalgams of well-known creatures, drawn in detail, with vivid colours. The creatures are indeed gruesome, but there is a strong element of humour which children would find appealing. - www.writeaway.org.uk

... splendid wordplay, a strong sense of the ridiculous - this should have young children both cringing and laughing - Books for Keeps

This is a wacky and entertaining book with amazing illustrations - English 4-11
