Paddington Helps Out — Michael Bond

That gentle bear is back again, and his attraction for near disaster is as magnetic and heartwarming as ever. Who but Paddington, a young Peruvian bear adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Brown of London, would set out to make dumplings for a stew and find himself chased from the kitchen by something so nasty that only his friend Mr. Gruber could rescue him? Who else could do so many things wrong so fast with the washing machine and end up with chaos in the laundry? How Paddington can turn mistakes into triumphs will again charm children of all ages.
