You’re a Bad Man, Mr Gum! is a really funny book. My favourite part was when Jake the big dog was saved by some magical dolphin chocolate. My favourite character was Polly because she really cares about Jake the big dog. I’ve read other books in this series and this is the best one! I really liked the extra bonus material for the 20th anniversary edition, especially seeing the original illustrations for the book and the original ending because they made me laugh. I would recommend this book for children who like funny stories. Review by ABI, aged 9 You’re a Bad Man, Mr. GUM! by Andy Stanton Five stars. I really enjoyed the 20th anniversary edition of You’re a Bad Man, Mr Gum! because the extra bonus pages were really funny and I really liked the original drawings. “ ’’ Raring2go! Raring2go! Book Review
COULD YOU BE THE NEWEST EDITOR OF RARING2GO!? We are looking to recruit new Editors to our network. Could it be YOU!? Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, making your own decisions, and shaping your work to fit around your family life? Fourteen years ago, that’s exactly what I did. With a corporate career in IT and project management, when I was made redundant, I couldn’t imagine returning to a 9-5 in London with a long daily commute. I still wanted to work, but I also wanted to spend time with the family, allowing me to be at school events, do the swim and dance runs, and be available in school holidays. Raring2go! turned out to be the perfect solution! What’s life like as a Raring2go! publisher? You’ll be your own boss, but with the full support of the Raring2go! franchise behind you - there’s always someone to turn to for advice when you need it. The role is varied, with sales, web updates, and all aspects of getting the Raring2go! magazine to print part of the day to day. No previous experience is required, though a love of your local community, a good eye for detail, and a can-do attitude will definitely help. The role typically takes an average of about 20 - 25 hours a week, and the best part is you choose when you work, so it fits easily around family life. The Raring2go! franchise This is a business opportunity, that requires a financial investment, with franchise opportunities in SW London and Surrey for new Editors to run their own business. Can I really have a career and still be there for my family? Absolutely! Not only has Raring2go! given me the opportunity to reset my work/life balance, we have also been lucky enough to try out so many fantastic activities and days out - discovering wonderful places, reviewing attractions, shows, classes and more along the way. So, if you’ve always dreamed of working for yourself and would love the chance to join an established franchise network, I would love to hear from you.

By simply replacing your kitchen doors and worktops, you can achieve a stunning transformation that feels like a brand-new kitchen, but at a much lower cost than buying an entirely new fitted kitchen. The team at Dream Doors Kingston & Epsom specialises in this smart, cost-effective approach, helping homeowners across the Kingston, Epsom, Weybridge, and surrounding Surrey areas update their kitchens with minimal disruption and budget impact. Dream Doors - New Life for Old Kitchens One of the biggest advantages of choosing new kitchen doors is the significant cost savings. Because you keep your existing cabinet carcasses and simply replace the doors and worktops, you avoid the expense of ripping out units and purchasing a whole new kitchen. This can work out to up to 50% less than a full kitchen replacement, making it an attractive option for anyone looking to modernise their space without overspending.
