Children's books about miserly, nasty, no good, rotten old men go one of two ways. Either the old man is redeemed at the end and Tiny Tim lives, etc. etc. or you get to the end of the book and the miserly, nasty, no good, rotten old man hasn't changed a jot. He's just been thwarted. A kind of Count Olaf ending, if you will. The nice thing about Andy Stanton's Mr. Gum books is that they're written with a two-dimensional villain in place with whom you never, at any point, sympathize. Stanton is a fan of goofiness and is willing to pile a whole bunch of weirdness on top of itself in the hopes that there will be enough funny material to keep the kids ah-reading. For the most part, You're a Bad Man, Mr. Gum! works and even when it doesn't it just seems to be so pleased with itself that you can't help but feel some affection for it. This isn't the strongest silly book for kids I've ever read, but it has its heart in the right place. Good evening. Talking parrots in the rooftops? A giant cactus on the high street? Mosquitoes so nasty that even their own friends don’t like them? Something’s gone terribly wrong in Lamonic Bibber… and Mr Gum is nowhere to be found. The books have won numerous prizes including the 2007 Red House Children's Book Award, two Blue Peter Book Awards for Best Book With Pictures, [5] and the inaugural Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2008 for Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear.

[8] Other books [ edit ] The eighth exceptionally entertaining Mr Gum story, read by the author and with music and sound effects. A fantastic book for boys and girls aged 7-10 years old Herra Gummi -sarjan ensimmäinen osa on ihan kiva ja nopsalukuinen pläjäys, täynnä mahtavaa nonsense-huumoria ja kielellä leikittelyä. Jokusen jutun olisi voinut lapsille suunnatusta tekstistä jättää poiskin (kuten "Minne se vanha herra Gummi meni?" hän kysyi. "Luultavasti juomaan päätään täyteen Ville Viljamin kanssa", Perjantai arvasi ja oli oikeassa.), mutta kaiken kaikkiaan tämä on hauska kirja - ja sopivassa mielentilassa luettuna varmastikin to-del-la-hauska. Saatanpa tarjota opusta myös kahdeksanvuotiaalleni ja siirtyä itse seuraavan osan kimppuun.
