Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear is an amazing book because this book is about a bear, not just any bear but a handsome, big bear who came strolling into the little town of Lamonic Bibber one fine autumn morning. I recommend this book to everyone

Other people should read this book because it is a comedy and scary genre.This is a summary of what happened.Polly and Padlock the bear were thrown overboard by a boat.The captain of the boat was called captain Brazil and is very crazy.Then Jonathon Ripples a guy who knows Polly saw them and saved them in a hot air balloon and they went to different countries and ate food from the countries then they went back to Lamonic Bibber were they lived and they lived happily
