Michael Bond (Author), Peggy Fortnum (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2002 | Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Paddington Bear

That bear is back again, and in this new edition of Paddington Helps Out, his attraction for near disaster is as magnetic as ever. Who but Paddington would set out to cook dumplings only to find himself chased from the kitchen by something so nasty only his resourceful friend Mr. Gruber can rescue him? And who else could get away with sawing his neighbor’s kitchen table in two or flooding the launderette? These and other riotous adventures all find their way into Paddington’s scrapbook and make for another delightful book starring this beloved bear from Darkest Peru.

About the Author

Michael Bond purchased the original Paddington bear as a Christmas gift for his wife in 1956. A Bear Called Paddington was published two years later. At the time one reviewer said, "It should be compulsory reading for any child from six to sixty. Paddington is the funniest character in children's books for many years." Mr. Bond now lives in London.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Paddington Helps Out (Hardcover)

I liked this book because it was funny, surprising, and happy. I liked it when Paddington fell into the river because it was funny. I recommend this book for ages 6-9. If you can, try to read the whole Paddington series.
