Shabba me whiskers! It’s one of those Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton. They’re only the craziest, funnest most amazing books for children in the world.
Mr Gum is back in this second hilarious book and he’s as nasty as ever! In fact, he’s absolutely grimsters. But this book’s not just about him. Meet a gingerbread man named Alan Taylor who has electric muscles! Plus, all our favourite characters are also back: the little girl called Polly, the evil butcher called Billy William The Third, and the very wise man, Friday O’Leary. And, who could forget loveable Jake the dog, or the angry fairy who lives in Mr Gum’s bathtub and whacks him on the head with a frying-pan? Mr Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire is the second book in the internationally best-selling series by Andy Stanton, which has won everything from the Blue Peter Book Award (twice) to the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Red House Children’s Book Award.Reviews
I like how Polly is so kind and sweet.my favourite character is Jack the dog. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure books and books with a hero to save the day.

I like Friday O'Leary the best because he shouted out random things all the time, like “the truth is a lemon meringue!” I also liked the silliness throughout the book.

It was very entertaining and I like the fact that it has an actual gingerbread billionaire in it ! I liked the biscuit billionaire the best because he was funny and I also thought that Monsieur was very funny because he smelt like a zoo had married a gigantic fart. I think I would recommend it to anyone because it is a hilarious book.
