Russian columnist, Anna Gerasimenko reviews Andy Stanton‘s Mr Gum Books…

…Anna said: “Mr. Gum is definitely a very nasty guy, but I’m grateful to him. Now I don’t have to explain to my daugther why she has to do chores. Otherwise we’ll end up like Mr. Gum, I tell her. Besides, as a punishment, a fairy beating over your head with a frying pan seems to work better than the warning of a bogeyman.

The author has got into a child’s head, full of crazy fantasies and cheerful adventures. Even when the book is finished, a child can’ t close it because in the end the adventures are only about to start!”
