Hieronymus Betts and His Unusual Pets

Hieronymus Betts certainly has some very unusual pets. All of his pets are gruesome and disgusting, but Hieronymus knows of something even slimier than Slugapotamus, fiercer than the grizzly hare, and smellier than Stinker the bog hog! What could it be? Visual jokes and a delightfully disgusting collection of creatures are especially appealing to young readers, and the easy-to-read text is fast-paced, short, and funny.
