"Bears like Paddington are very rare," says Mrs Bird, "and a good thing too, or it would cost us a small fortune in marmalade." The Brown Family first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact - and now he is just another member of their family, if a slightly unusual one. As he says himself, "Things happen to me - I'm that sort of bear." With his attempts at home decorating, detective work and photography, the Brown family soon find that Paddington causes his own particular brand of chaos.

In this second Paddington Bear book, we have a series of adventures that occur between the Summer holidays and Christmas, as Paddington finds himself in trouble with the Browns, Mr Curry, and even the police. As usual, Michael Bond and Peggy Fortnum do an excellent work in this book as the illustrations and text work very well together, and transfer very well on the Kindle. To me that device is just a treat since it allows me to have in my pocket the whole Paddington Bear series, without having to carry a huge bag wherever I go.
Of my favourite stories, I'd say that the Bonfire and the Christmas ones were much funny to read, and that the one involving the police was excellent as you see Paddington trying to solve two mysteries which happened in 32 Windsor Gardens.
A great purchase for everyone ready to give a chance to a bear coming all the way from Darkest Peru.

I see my own in this one

Format:Hardcover
Paddington is a loveable, cuddly, inquisitive, independent bear who lives with the Browns while his aunt is in Peru. This is a classic British children's book that needs to be experienced here in America -- it truly is a wonderful book.
