Kate Winslet reads Mr Gum and the Goblins



This is a review for the audio CD of "Mr Gum and the Goblins". The story is split over two CDs with running time of 1hr20. I put them on for my nearly 6-year-old daughter who loves them. Here are her quotes:

"It was super."

Why?

"Because we heard about granny and I liked it when she takes a sip of cherry, and she talks to Danny who lives in Australia on the phone and asks is it great to be old, and Danny says yes."

What else?

"Polly found the 200 people who ran away in September, and they were goblins. Mr. Gum and Billy Williams spied on them and they pretended to be the the Goblin King and the Burger Wizard because they wanted to make Polly's favourite town into Goblin City."

Anything else?

"At the end Polly said it was a big, piggy feast."

So you can see the sort of ideas that are in the book, and how it is good for children's imagination.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
