The Paddington Bear series Can choosing Christmas gifts be an adventure? Or renovating a room? How could it be if Paddington, a bear cub who arrived in London from Deep Peru, gets down to business. Not every bear knows how to handle an old camera, catch robbers or hang wallpaper. Of course, not everything works out as planned, because it’s not so easy to hold a brush in the bear’s paws, and the costume of the famous detective is too big for the little bear cub. But Paddington is not one of those who back down from difficulties - that’s why his adventures have been going on for more than fifty years. This is such a bear! Where he is, there is never a dull moment. Collection of stories from the Paddington Bear series. Cover illustration R. Ellie, internal illustrationsP. Fortnum. Contents Michael Bond.
