Miranda loves to be different so no one is really surprised when she arrives at school on Bring-your-pet-to-school Day riding on the back of an enormous slithery python called Penelope. But they are a bit frightened. After all, pythons EAT people. Miranda, however, soon convinces her classmates that Penelope is both friendly and lots of fun to play with. It looks like it's going to be the best day of school EVER. But that's before Miss Bloat, the headmistress, intervenes and locks up all the pets. Luckily Penelope has a special talent that will save the day.
If you enjoyed this, you really should check out the other pictures books by this talented pair. The Bookbag loved both [[The Bear Who Went Boo by David Walliams and Tony Ross|The Bear Who Went Boo]] and [[The Slightly Annoying Elephant by David Walliams and Tony Ross|The Slightly Annoying Elephant]].
We've also seen an edition which contained an audio CD. Our reviewer, Ruth Ng said: In the audio CD the story is read, of course, by David Walliams. I confess, I was a little disappointed as I'd expected it to be wackier than it was! Instead he seems to read the story in a rather calm and measured way, very slowly and carefully pronouncing every word. This does mean that children who are reading themselves can easily follow the story along as they listen, without getting lost. Still, the enjoyment came for me with the introduction of the mean headmistress, as he then lapsed into a funny character voice. I almost breathed a sigh of relief that finally there was a little action in his voice! There are sound effects as he reads, and a little music, but all things considered I feel that actually, I do a far better job of reading this out loud than he does! {{amazontext|amazon=00081727060008172765}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=00081727060008172765}}
