The fifth Mr Gum story is shamelessly hilarious
Good evening. Do you like bears called Padlock? Course you do. Do you like hot-air balloons? Course you do. Do you like tall sailing ships with mad sea captains, and horrifying old villains and words like "wab!," "tungler," and "kelp?" COURSE you do! Well, guess what, you lucky little nibbleheads? This book's got all of those things and a lot more besides. It's a rollicker! It's a frolicker! It's a funtime sun-time yollicker! So what you waiting for? GET READING!
