Book Description

October 30, 2000 8 and up4 and upPaddington Bear
Who but Paddington, that bumbling but lovable bear from Darkest Peru could find himself caught in the unsettling predicament of having to admit that he has accidentally dumped a tin of worms into the faculty stew on his first and, needless to say, last day at school?
In this revised edition of PADDINGTON ON TOP, our favorite bear finds himself caught up in seven fresh and lively adventures, each requiring more than Paddington’s usual hard stares and sticky-fingered determination. Whether proving his adeptness at water skiing, scoring the winning touchdown for a visiting Peruvian rugby team, or improving his physique, his beguiling innocence and dauntless enthusiasm have no match. Each hilarious escapade proves that here’s a bear who’s bound to come out — on top.


Editorial Reviews

Review

“In PADDINGTON ON TOP [Paddington] attends school (briefly), ‘cleans up’ a neighbor’s house, visits the law courts, learns water skiing — even hang gliding — tries muscle-building, plays rugby football, and goes shopping. Each incident is, of course, a blessed disaster. Strictly for children — but who does not qualify?” Christian Science Monitor

“Vintage Paddington . . . and lovable as ever." Kirkus Reviews

"Throughout, [Paddington] is able, as always, to turn his mishaps into success and come out on top." —Booklist Booklist, ALA

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.
