I didn’t think anything could beat “A bear called Paddington” but this was just everything I wanted and more.
I know I haven’t read many Paddington books but this one is my favourite so far.
What a joyful read ❤️

Calamity and accidents follow the sweet and kind Paddington everywhere. Though things seem to always work out for him and the Browns. There's gentle humour in this series, and Paddington is a lovely, well-meaning, little fellow.
I am seriously loving reading these with my 5 1/2 year old. There are some great memories being made reading about our favorite bear and all the craziness he goes through.
In this book Paddington takes a family picture, which ends up on display in the local photography shop, tries to decorate his bedroom with paint and wallpaper (you can guess how that goes!), becomes a detective, learns about Guy Fawkes Night and upsets Mr. Curry, plays in the snow and becomes ill, goes Christmas shopping and hands out Christmas gifts.
I think my little one enjoyed this book more than the first. She finished it by herself before we finished it together. Now we're on to the next book, Paddington Helps Out.

This one wasn't as good as the first one but it still had some funny, silly moments that I liked about Paddington. The reason I gave the first book 4 stars and this one 3 stars - is the way Mr Bond is 'humanizing' the bear especially in the first book, where Paddington "eats bacon". I'm sorry, what?
Bears don't eat bacon, so why should Paddington eat it?? It's just something that annoys me in children literature.
