everyone should read this - Rated
they really should, i love it and am recommending to all my young friends - and their parents!

Takes reading to the next level! - Rated
My 8 year old daughter has been so taken with the Mr Gum series, she has read them all. This is the one she found the most funny. I have not seen her have her head in a book as often as she has with this one. I have also bought this for a friend's son too and he thoroughly enjoyed it (aged 8)
Go ahead, buy it, read it and wait for the giggles in the background; they're guaranteed!

We all cried with laughter - Rated
"Time for your medication Mr Stanton."
On second thoughts. Stuff the medication and just write some more books like this. The man's a genius. Buy this book, I promise you, you will not regret it. The funniest book I have read for a long time - My boys aged 8 and 10 are now fighting over our 1 copy - literally!

Hilariously funny - Rated
It was funny, really funny. The characters were good and you never knew what would happen next. This was my favourite book in the series.

laugh out loud - Rated
I read this book to my 8 year old son. He laughed 'till he cried. Me too!

His comment..."I never used to enjoy reading until I read Mr Gumm."

It's the most bizarre, funny and imaginative book I've read in a long time. Cross Monty Python with Roald Dahl. Here's the basic plot...a grumpy and very untidy old man is forced to keep a pristine garden because if it gets untidy he gets hit over the head by a frying pan wielding fairy. When a dog messes up his garden, Mr Gum is forced to take drastic action. See what I mean about bizarre? But it really works. It's absolutely brilliant

And the other Mr Gumms are great too
