Paddington on Top

Description

Paddington, the bear from Darkest Peru, who was found lost on Paddington station, is back with new covers and a brighter look to bring him up to date. Up until now, Paddington has managed to avoid school. But the Inspector himself catches up with him and packs him off. After one day, even the teacher wonders whether there is anything he can teach a certain bear from Darkest Peru. And when it comes to dancing the rumba as always, Paddington takes the cake. This unforgettable bear is as trouble-prone and funny as ever in this latest reissue in the Paddington library.
