Hieronymous Betts and His Unusual Pets
By M.P. Robertson
A delightfully disgusting collection of beasts from the internationally acclaimed author-illustrator, M.P. Robertson.
Hieronymus Betts certainly has some VERY unusual pets. All of his pets are gruesome and disgusting but Hieronymus knows of something more slimier than Slugapotamus, fiercer than the grizzly hare and greedier than the Sabre-Toothed Rhino Toad! Dare you read this book to find out…
- "Each pet, deliciously delineated in all its grotesque detail, is progressively more bizarre that the one before it, but Hieronymus doesn’t seem to mind as he is slimed on, screeched at or encoiled by them… This funny picture book is a celebration of the imagination". Sydney's Child
