Our favorite talking bear from Darkest Peru gets into more scrapes including working at a barber shop and gluing random hairs onto a man's head, and accidentally creating a hole in his neighbor's house. Fun for all.

While I would not categorize all the stories in this collection as "work," it does make for an endearing read.

The seventh Paddington book includes the following stories: A Bear at Sea, Anchors Away, Paddington Buys a Share, A Visit to the Stock Exchange, Paddington in a Hole, Too Much off the Top and Paddington Steps Out. My favorite of these are Paddington Buys a Share, A Visit to the Stock Exchange and Anchors Away. In this adventure Paddington comes back to England from his visit to Peru with his Aunt Lucy. While back in England he gets a job at a barber shop, buys a stock and goes to Judy's school and ends up performing in a ballet. It's your average Paddington book but I felt like it was better than the last few have been.

I loved Paddington when I was a young girl, and when I saw that Michael Bond had died recently I wanted to revisit him. He's still sweet, befuddled, and enchanting.
