Summary

Paddington - the beloved classic bear from Darkest Peru, now a major movie star - is back in this fantastically funny, brand-new novel from master storyteller Michael Bond!

Hurrying forward, he held out a welcoming hand. 'Sir Percival Rushmoor,' he said. 'I’m invigilating.'
'I’m sorry to hear that, Sir Percival,' said Paddington. 'I hope you feel better very soon.'

Paddington always finds himself in unusual situations, so it is no surprise when he has a run-in with the police, appears in a TV cookery show and gives one of his hard stares to a hypnotist!

✨Paddington’s Finest Hour✨

I love Paddington and all his funny story’s about what he gets up to! I liked Chapter 7 the most which is when he watched the Variety Performance because it makes me laugh every time 😂
