Hermione Betts & Her Unusual Pets Picture Book
A hilarious story about a girl & her fantastical pets
Description
A fabulous and fun softback book for girls with a splendid use of word play and a strong sense of humour.
What on earth could be slimier than a slugapotamus, noisier than a greater-spotted howler-bird or scarier than a porcupython? Do you dare purchase this book to find out more?!
Hermione Betts has some very unusual pets, some that are slimy, some that are noisy and some that are scary. But there’s one creature that is slimier, noisier and scarier than all of them put together - what on earth could it be?
This colourful picture book introduces Hermione's unusual pets such as Stinker the bog hog and Slurp the slugapotamus one at a time, but the story reveals that, while noisier and scarier than them all, her little sister is actually far more fun than any pet could ever be!
Beautifully illustrated in ink and watercolour, Hermione Betts & Her Unusual Pets is great for reading aloud together and is sure to be a very popular gift with sisters.
A personalised version of this book, Personalised Unusual Pets which allows you to add children’s names and their relationship to the picture book, is available as a Made To Order gift.
Guide age range: 4-8 years.
Made with paper & love, from you to me.
Why we love it
We love the story and the fantastical scary creatures. The ending when the scariest beast is revealed is very amusing! We also appreciate the version with boys, Hieronymus Betts & His Unusual Pets.
