The pictures are fun. The writing is really clumsy.
Gumby deserves a much better book.

I'm really disappointed with this book. I was hoping for a more behind the scenes look and history of the creation of Gumby, along with an episode guide. I'm not sure what the two writers intentions were with this book, but for me, they failed miserably.
