Oh dear. It seems that our furry friends have been afflicted with a bad case of the swearing tic (not the wriggly kind you remove from your dog's back). This work combines comical and cute animal photos with inappropriate captions.

I have to confess that I have only read a fraction of this book. I saw it, or rather was attracted by the cover (a hamster saying 'bo11ocks) and decide to dip into it. The result was me completely losing it in terms of laughing - I had to put it back on the shelf. I can imagine not many people would find this funny, most may find it school boy / childish etc but I am sorry I found it to be the most amusing thing I have seen for years - I have a tear in my eye at the memory of Waterstones in Southampton this afternoon.
If you have a black/rude/schoolboy sense of humour then this is for you.
I am still laughing now!

The premise to this book is simple enough: take some sickeningly adorable animal pictures, add in some speech bubbles containing incredibly rude statements, and you have 'Pets with Tourettes'. And it works!
I giggled madly as I flipped from page to page, faced with the sage thoughts of animals ranging from a tortoise to goat, cat to cockerel. I think it's the combination of innocent cuteness with such shockingly foul language that is the key to this books success.

i haven't laughed so much in a long while. what was slightly embarassing was being in the middle of the local waterstones at the time with people wondering what on earth i was doing. also a bit unsure as it was on a shelf where children could see it. definitely worth buying.

A very funny book.
One wonders why many reviewers seem amazed and offended that it contains pictures of animals swearing.
Didn't they notice the rabbit shouting "bollocks" on the front cover?

"It seems that our furry friends have been afflicted with a bad case of the swearing tic." So you think that is what Tourette's is Mr Leigh? Sigh!
This was left in our work charity bookshelf. Not surprised the previous owner didn't want it.
"Mark Leigh is a comedy writer" says the description. Yeah, the list of people he has supposedly worked with sums up his comedy genius. Rolf Harris! Jeremy Beadle! Says it all.
What next, "Pets with leprosy" with random pictures of pets with limbs falling off? "Pets with Down's?" "Pets with STDs?"

When I first saw this book in a book store I stood there laughing like a maniac. I don't know what other customers thought!
Format:Hardcover
This book is basically a masterclass in swearing delivered by very small animals.
If you don't laugh, you can read in under five mins. If it tickles you, it will take considerably longer.
Funny as hell the first time, loses its affect on subsequent reads.

Offensive to the disabled
My child can not believe there are books out there making fun of his disability. What's next 'Pets in Wheelchairs'?

Do they even know what tourettes is? Ignorant, disablist rubbish.
I have tourettes syndrome. Like 90% - yes 90% - of people with tourettes, I do not swear. Coprolalia (involuntary swearing) is a feature of tourettes that only 10% of tourettes... Read more

Puerile perfection!
I may well be a mature 35 year old professional, and this may have been a gift for my equally mature girlfriend, but as soon as it was opened, every page made us both snigger. Read more

Rude book, but funny
A christmas laugh for those who are not too fussy about naughty words. The pictures are great and the fact that a fluffy bunny or a cute bird can have a mouth like sewer is funny. Read more

Oh no, sweary words! The worlds going to end!
The only thing funnier than this book is the negative reviews it has got. I mean, how boring must your life be if you have to post a bad review of a daft little bit of fun as this... Read more

Definately different.
Was bought as a stocking filler. Teenage boys and adults who refuse to grow up will find this amusing.

I think I was drunk when I ordered this
If you have an IQ of a lobotomised walnut you will likely find this funny. I however was drunk, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Read more
