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. This is book five.
Good evening. Do you like bears called Padlock? Course you do. Do you like hot-air balloons? Course you do. Do you like tall sailing ships with mad sea captains, and horrifying old villains and words like ‘wab!’, ‘tungler’ and ‘kelp’? COURSE you do! Well, guess what, THE TRUTH IS A LEMON MERINGUE. Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear is the fifth 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. Don’t miss Mr Gum’s other villainously brilliant adventures… You’re a Bad Man, Mr Gum!

I really like how in the end of the book Polly tells padlock to tell the beasts of the forest to stop getting revenge on Mr Gum and billy William. My favourite character is Polly because I love how understanding and kind she is. I would recommend this book for people who like adventure books and stories with a moral.

It was great! It was fiction. The main good person is Polly. The main bad people are Mr Gum and Billy William the third. I think everyone should read it!
