Summary

Bloomsbury presents The Funny Life of Pets written and read by James Campbell.

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.

I really love the story

The overall was awesome. The performance was awesome. The story was awesome so it was great. I think you should all listen to the story, and it’s very very funny.

Brilliant

My son raved about James Campbell for weeks after he visited his school. This is the first time my little one's been so excited over an author/ book and its the cutest thing hearing him in genuine hysterics from his room! My 7 year olds review is 'He is the funniest person ever'

Terrible

Full of nonsense with some factual bits as well with no real explanation of which is which. So much talk of animal abuse such as ‘Guinea pig catapults’ or ‘throwing sausages at horses’ which are never really dismissed as just jokes, leaving a very confusing message overall. I returned this title.
