What's for Dinner, Mr Gum?: Children’s Audio Book

It’s barking bonkers! The sixth sensational Mr Gum story, read by the author and with music and sound effects. A fantastic book for boys and girls aged 7-10 years old

‘They’re the funniest books … I can’t recommend them enough’ Stephen Mangan

‘They are brilliant’ Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2

‘It’s hilarious, it’s brilliant…Stanton’s the Gov’nor, the Boss.’ – Danny Baker, BBC Radio London

Good evening. BANG! KA-BOOM! OUCH. Yes, Lamonic Bibber is at war and it’s all because of Mr Gum and his nasty butcher pal, Billy William the Third. As the meat and grease whizz through the air, it’s down to Polly and her friends to break up the fight.

KA-POW! Can they do it in time? KA-SMASH! Will love save the day? KA-QUESTION! Who on earth is Thora Gruntwinkle? Listen to this book and you’ll find out, you delightful little peanuts!

What’s for Dinner, Mr Gum? is the sixth in the internationally bestselling series by Andy Stanton, which has won everything from the Blue Peter Book Award (twice) to the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Red House Children’s Book Award. The books have been translated into over 25 languages worldwide, and have sold over 4 million copies.

“Good evening. This is Andy Stanton, professional children’s author and part-time marshmallow. Hey, do you like hearing ‘Mr Gum’ read out loud by a complete idiot? Well, then, you’re in luck, because – for your entertainment, amusement and annoyance - every single word of these audio books is spoken by ME! And not only that, but these recordings are absolutely JAM-PACKED with silly voices, weird sound effects and utterly ridiculous songs (sorry about my singing, by the way, it’s appalling). So there you have it – what are you waiting for? GET LISTENING, YOU NIBBLEHEADS!”

Reviews

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture

—— Philip Pullman

I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design

—— Lauren Child

I think poetry for children needs to be saved from the cold dissection of right and wrong answers and put back into rooms and halls full of wonder, compassion, haunting, laughter, music and rhythm. We need to hear its many cultures, many voices, many sounds. This is about wide and diverse participation. Diverse verse for all!

—— Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007-2009

This is a laugh out loud story with hilarious illustrations

—— Families Magazine

WHAM gives Daisy and the Trouble with Zoos five out of five for laugh-out-loud-ability!
