Chosen by Michael Rosen. Winner of The Blue Peter book award 2009 'most funny book with pictures' category - Mr Gum is off on his fifth best-selling adventure. And it is as zany and ridiculous as any that have gone before. This time, a gigantic bear arrives in the small town of Lamonic Bibber, a bear who is as tall as forty hamsters and as heavy as two hundred water melons or nineteen thousand grapes. Soon the nasty Mr Gum has all kinds of unpleasant plans for turning the bear into a dancing pet and making loads of money out of him. As ever, stopping him involves some wild action including a trip in a hot air-balloon and some daring adventures on the high seas. Click here to view the other Mr Gum titles by Andy Stanton.
What Michael Rosen says of one of his all time favourite books:
