Time for me to recommend another book or, in this case, a series of books.

The Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton are, to put it mildly, hilarious! I picked up the first of these irreverent adventures for my eight ear old, read it myself, and immediately went out to get the other two!

Mr Gum is a bad man. A very bad man. And, with the assistance of the world’s most disgusting butcher, Billy William III, sets out to reign over the residents of the sleepy town of lamonic bibber. The only things that stand in his way are a nine-year-old girl called Polly, an unlikely hero in the form of Friday O’Leary, and a 15.24 cm high gingerbread man with electric muscles: Alan Taylor.

Packed with puns and gags, I defy you not to laugh out loud on every single page! A must!
