A hilarious book from bestselling author and stand-up comic James Campbell, who has visited over 3,000 primary schools to tell stories and encourage children to write their own.

Uncover the sidesplitting life of cucumber scaredy-cats, non-stop pooping hamsters, exploding fish and everything in-between (and some things that have nothing to do with pets but are still ridiculously funny). This hilarious book answers all the big questions, like: do sausage dogs eat sausages? Why has my cat done a poo behind my wardrobe? And how can I persuade my parents to get me a pet? For real-life pet facts, imaginary stories, and a generally laugh-so-hard-snot-comes-out-your-nose read, this is the only pet book you’ll ever need!

Written by the outstanding children’s comedian James Campbell, prepare yourself for The Funny Life of Pets! But be WARNED – this IS NOT a normal book…You read a normal book by starting on page one and reading to the end (BORING). You can read this book forwards, backwards, sideways, and in approximately 861,000 different ways in-between.

This is a book with outrageous facts, hilarious jokes, insanely funny online videos and brilliant stories all about pets, the author, and all sorts of other things.

WARNING: Anything you think you might have learned from this book might not be very accurate so should not be used in a school project or as part of homework. Unless of course, you are made of stardust and are as brave as sunshine.

This book was so funny I fell over laughing (seriously!) I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book where you can read it in any order. My favourite page is when James Campbell makes up dog names!! And he makes up dogs too.

It had some real facts. It was partly fictional. I think it was really good and I would recommend it to someone else

It’s really funny, there’s loads of interesting things. When I read a few pages my teacher laughed her socks off. I always pick it up and read different sections and IT makes me laugh. I recommend it to my friend willow because she likes pets too
