Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear
Andy Stanton
Do you like bears called Padlock? Course you do. Do you like hot-air balloons? Course you do. Do you like tall sailing ships withmad sea captains, and horrifying old villains and words like ‘wab’, ‘tungler’ and ‘kelp’? Course you do!

I don't really like this book as it is quite emotional with a bear.

I liked this book with a scary bear! I rather liked it if I say so myself. My favorite person is the bear! I would defiantly recommend it!

This book is crazy. The people don't talk properly and there are lots of odd things in this book. But it is really funny and there is the fatest guy in town Jonnathan ripples, Polly and Padlock the bear become the best of friends.

Fiction. Padlock was my favourite character

I got the series of Mr Gum books and I had heard the first chapter of this one so I was really excited to read the rest. My favourite character was Padlock the bear, because he had a really good description and I could picture him really well in my head. I would recommend this whole series to people who like jibberish English and funny language.

There is a girl named Polly and a man called Mr Gum and Polly saw a bear and she calls it padlock. She has to take him back to the forest. I recommend this book to aged 8 and over.

The thing I liked was the bear (called Padlock). Fans of Mr. Gum will like this.

Not as good as the other ones, but a story about being homesick.

In the story Mr Gum tried to capture the bear to make them dance. The other bears made Mr Gum and his friends dance in the end. Mr Ripples was one of Padlocks friend in the story and he was my favourite character because he was funny and he was kind to Padlock.

very good

I think this book is funny because it is about a captain who is really small and he is very crazy because he spent too much time at sea. He throws Polly and a bear called Padlock over board. I do recommend this book.

I liked the book because Polly was kind to Padlock the bear. In the book polly was trying to get Padlock the bear home to the land of the beasts but Mr Gum was trying to catch Padlock and make him dance.

A rib aching funny book about a butcher [called Mr Gum] who kidnaps a bear and makes him dance but Polly Is here to save the day . it is a fictional book and my best character is padlock the bear!
