Good pets, bad pets, supervillain pets, pets as big as a house and pets that could eat you in one gulp – these are the most hilarious and horrendous animals around.

David Walliams is praised for his indulgently humorous and silly storytelling, appealing perfectly to his fan base. His work is described as laugh-out-loud funny and delightfully disgusting. Often compared to Roald Dahl, Walliams is noted for his imaginative writing and engaging illustrations that captivate young readers, even those who might otherwise be reluctant to read.
