Review
First published in 1958, the classic tale tells of Paddington's arrival at Paddington Station in London and his adoption by the Brown family. This book picks up where the first one leaves off, telling the story of the bubbly but bumbling, ever polite young bear always trying to help his family. The illustrations add a great deal to the story. While totally improbable, the story is fun and will make young readers laugh. With a movie based on the books just out in January, there should be interest in this story.
Overall Book Score: good
