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?

Media Reviews
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 -- John Paine English 4-11
Author Bio

After leaving Hounslow he spent a year drawing in museums, cathedrals and on the underground before specialising in illustration at Kingston Polytechnic. Among the influences on his style are Mervyn Peake, Heath Robinson and Odile Redon. He believes that more than merely decorating a book, illustration should be integral to the narrative. Among is books for Frances Lincoln are The Egg, The Great Dragon Rescue and The Dragon Snatcher; Hieronymus Betts and his Unusual Pets, Big Brave Brian, The Sandcastle and Food Chain. He lives in Bradford on Avon with his partner and two sons.
