Description

Paddington the beloved classic bear from Darkest Peru, now a major movie star is back in this fantastically funny, brand new illustrated novel from master storyteller Michael Bond!
Hurrying forward, he held out a welcoming hand. Sir Percival Rushmoor, he said. Im invigilating.
Im 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!
