Book info

  • Title Paddington at Work
  • Author Michael Bond
  • Year 1966
  • Genre Childrens

Paddington has a knack for ‘smelling out things’, and his sharp nose, supported by marmalade sandwiches, leads him into many adventures. Whether it’s lending a paw to a famous Russian ballet dancer, or serving baked elastic instead of ‘Baked Alaska’ this unforgettable bear is as trouble-prone and funny as ever!

Thoughts

This was a lot of fun, Paddington getting up to his usual mischief but for whatever reason I really enjoyed this scrapes more than some of the previous ones. Paddingtong getting confused on board a ship, getting involved in the stock market, and trying his hand at both hairdressing and ballet! Sounds mad but it always works out right in the end.

Rating: 4 / 5
