About this listen
One of Time Out’s Top 100 Children’s books of all time!
‘Completely hilarious … kind of The League of Gentlemen for kids' Zoe Ball
Shabba me whiskers! A new audiobook reading from the author Andy Stanton, bursting out the nostrils with fun!
Mr Gum's back! But what's he up to this time?
Oh, dreadful things my friends, dreadful things indeed. It seems he's found himself a brand new treat – rancid kebabs just dripping with dirty grey sauce. And he just can't get enough of them. He's gotta have more! More! Less! I mean, More!
But not everyone's too happy about Mr Gum's new dinnertime arrangements and soon the town of Lamonic Bibber is gearing up for war. Can Polly and her friends save the town from being torn apart? Will Mr Gum's hunger ever be satisfied? And who on earth is Thora Gruntwinkle?
All will be revealed when you read "What's For Dinner, Mr Gum?" You'll see a gingerbread man driving through London! You'll see an annoying little monkey driving everyone mad! You'll see Friday O'Leary falling asleep in a hedge! Yes, it's all there in glorious black and white, my friends. Except for the cover, which is in colour. It's Bonus.
