I liked this book
Mr gum is so naughty
This is a fiction book. It is about a man who is trying to poison a dog! This book made me feel sad because the dog got killed.
I love it! My favourite bit was when the angry fairy hit Mr Gum on the head with a frying pan!
I love the humor
Because it was interesting, there were lots of funny bits and kind people and Mr Gum was a bad man.

Mr Gum is the baddest baddie out of all the other baddies.
This book is about a man who hates goodness. Can you believe it? He has a friend (obviously an evil one) and he works at the butchers. Mr. Gum has a garden, but not because it’s his hobby, because he has an angry fairy living in his bath and when his garden is untidy the fairy comes and whacks him with a frying pan. One day, a dog called Jake comes to Mr. Gum’s garden and absolutely DESTROYS it! The evil man doesn’t like being whacked with a frying pan by a fairy so one day, before the dog cam the man went to the butchers to get meat and then he poisoned it. Guess what happens next! Ah ah! I’m not telling you. Is anybody coming to the rescue? Read “You’re a bad man, Mr. Gum” to find out. I like this book. It’s funny and it’s very heroic.
so funny
This book was really funny, especially the fairy that kept hitting Mr Gum. I also cant stop thinking about this speech “Tis Unwise, Tis Unwise!”
This story was not very interesting. It was obvious to see what was coming in the story. There were no surprises or twists. My favourite character was Jake the dog because I love dogs. I would maybe recommend this book.
I liked this book because it was funny. I would recommend this book and look forward to reading more Mr Gum books.
IT'S interesting
This was a really good book to read with funny characters and lots of funny bits too. I highly recommend this for younger readers who are being introduced to bigger books which are a new world of words and stories. I really enjoyed this book!
