This just didn't have quite the same heart and quaintness that the earlier Paddington books did. In light of recent events, the first chapter was just plain frightening rather than funny. There were wonderful moments where the characters reminisced about the early stories, though, which proved that Bond still loved Paddington as much as he did fifty years earlier.

I absolutely adore Paddington and have the films on DVD. I haven’t read any of the books since childhood so thought I might give the series another read as Paddington’s character really makes me chuckle. While I felt this wasn’t one of the strongest in the series, I see myself continuing with it.

Paddington's Finest Hour is both sweet and nostalgic, and made a nice break from more serious reading. Whilst it is enjoyable, it is not my favourite inclusion in the series by any means; I feel that some of the earlier books have a little more substance than this did.

In would like to thank netgalley and Harper Collins for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Paddington's last adventure.

Sweet and nostalgic.
