Synopsis

Paddington Bear loves to lend a paw. From taking a saw to Mr. Curry's kitchen table to extinguishing a surprise flambe, each time Paddington helps out, things tend to get messier before they improve. But with his special tool kit, playful wits, and just a little bit of marmalade, Paddington can take any day and make it extraordinary!

First published in 1960, Paddington Helps Out is the third novel by Michael Bond chronicling the adventures of this classic character. Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This brand-new paper-over-board edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.

About this title

Review:

Praise for the Paddington series:

'I've always had great respect for Paddington... He is a British institution.' Stephen Fry

'Paddington has joined Pooh as one of the great bears of English children's literature.' The Teacher

'Michael Bond's accident-prone bear...has become one of the most enduring of children's characters.' The Bookseller

From the Back Cover:

The stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all around the world for over 50 years.

"Oh dear," said Paddington, as everyone turned to look at him accusingly. "I'm in trouble again." Somehow trouble came naturally to Paddington.

What other bear could upset a whole movie theater by standing on his seat to boo the bad guy in the film? Or drip ice cream on the people down below? Or flood the Laundromat and saw Mr. Curry's kitchen into little pieces? Only Paddington! But when Paddington's head is so full of ideas, some things are bound to go wrong!
