More of the marmalade-loving bear's hilarious adventures and misadventures, during which he has plenty of opportunities to direct his "hard stare" (handed down from his Aunt Lucy in Peru) at those who displease him. I especially enjoyed the chapters where he ushers at a wedding and visits a psychiatrist when he goes to the hospital to see his malingering neighbor, Mr. Curry. Of course, everything always turns out all right.

Brilliant! Just Brilliant! The Paddington series were the first stories I remember at infant school. I purchased these as the have the original, and best, illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.

I loved the chapter where Paddington wants to visit Mr Curry in the hospital but ends up seeing and talking to a Psychiatrist by mistake. It was probably one of the funniest moments in the Paddington Series. Like I've said before many times I really enjoy this series and highly recommend it to the younger audience.

this book is about Paddington bear. He is from darkest Peru. He left Peru in a boat and went to London. The Browns found him at Paddington station.In this book Paddington goes to a wedding where he is an usher and gets the bride's wedding ring stuck round a bend on his paw. As always with Paddington everything goes wrong. I think this book is excellent. It made me laugh a lot. I love all Paddington books.

Paddington goes to town, - and does a lot more. Is there anything that needs to be said regarding his stories? Funny, cute, lovely, entertaining, you name it.

To już ósmy tom przygód tego niesfornego niedźwiadka. Jak i przy wcześniejszych tomach tak i teraz bawiłam się świetnie. Tym razem wszystkie przygody wydarzyły się poza domem. Między innymi na polu golfowym czy w szpitalu. Jak to Paddington wpada w tarapaty, ale zawsze wychodzi z tego obronną łapką. No ja się uśmiałam przy czytaniu tej książki. A teraz po porodzie sprawdziła się ona idealnie, bo czyta się ją naprawdę szybko. Na razie jeszcze nie do końca ogarniam rzeczywistość wiec taka lekka i zabawna lektura to zbawienie. Gdy Antoś zobaczył, że przyszły kolejne części Paddingtona to piszczał z radości, ale wspólne czytanie niestety jeszcze nie wychodzi. Jest za mało cierpliwy na takie długie lektury. Dlatego ta seria będzie cierpliwe czekać aż młody jeszcze podrośnie i będziemy czytać. Oj ja będę czekała z utęsknieniem na powrót do tej lektury. No polecam Wam tę książkę, ale to chyba nie zmieni się przy żadnej części Paddingtona. Uwielbiam tego misia więc z radością czytam o kolejnych jego przygodach.

I thought that this was a fun book! Especially if you have seen either the movie or the series about Paddington! I loved how things were very similar and I feel as though some of the chapters were episodes from the series. Loved it!Oh! And I felt like I could almost hear Mr. Cury yelling, "Bear!" It was fantastic!

Another collection of Paddington adventures, which seemed to be better and more varied than the last few in the series.Particular favourites were him taking a rock on a bus, and Paddington’s attempt at being a carolling waiter:

I began a love affair with Paddington Bear in elementary school. I read every book they had. Now I am finding some of them and giving them a reread.I see that some of my humor came from these books. I laughed at so much of its silliness. Paddington and the psychiatrist was so funny.

Another wonderful addition to the Paddington series. A great book for children to read to be introduced to humor and the classic character with the sweet, positive attitude.
