Paddington Takes the Air audiobook

More hilarious (mis)adventures of the irresistible bear from Darkest Peru, he of the hard stares and marmalade sandwiches. My favorites in this book are the chapters in which Paddington visits the dentist, decides to be a detective, is mistaken for a famous food critic at a restaurant, and wins a dance competition (thanks to a stray marmalade sandwich).

More hilarious adventures with Paddington. Read this on Christmas Eve, it gave me plenty of laughs to relax.

Many adventures Paddington goes through in this little book.He visits the dentist, and accidentally causes him a lot of trouble and pain;Endeavours to alter the next door neighbour's trousers and ends up in a disaster which is worked out after all;Rides upon a horse named Black Beauty during a competition to raise money for Judy's school swimming pool and actually wins first prize;Helps Mr. Gruber fix up an ancient car for a parade and enlists a circus weight lifter to help;Tries to find a mystery to solve and causes a ruckus in his efforts;Is mistaken for a renowned chef and taste tester whom no one has seen;And dances in the limelight as the center of attention at a Christmas ball.Oh, how I love Paddington and his well-meaning ideas!! He is the precious bear from Darkest Peru- the only one of his kind.😍

Just complete joy, always makes me laugh and a prefect bear for these times.

Paddington Takes the Air was just as fun as usual. Maybe not as laugh-out-loud funny but still good. I always like to know what he will be up to next.I liked the parts when he becomes a Detective and mistaken for someone else and gets all the food for free.

I Love Paddington book so much up are they by

The Paddington stories are some of my favorite read-alouds with the kids. Perfect writing for a family that appreciates witty verbal humor. This volume includes the great characters Gay Cheeseman and Two-Ton "Muscles" Galore, as well as the expected encounter with Mr. Curry (reputation for meanness), chats with Mr. Gruber (buns and cocoa for elevenses), and the rest of the Brown household--along with plenty of hard stares indeed.

I was introduced to Paddington - innocent, improbable Paddington - in college, when my assigned roommate turned out to be a huge fan. When she hit a bump in the road, I wrote to Michael Bond c/o his publishers, asking if there was any chance he could send her a note of encouragement (with all that hope you have in college) - and he sent her a personal note, as well as a response to me. It was such a kindness, which meant a great deal to my roommate and said so much about the man who could write about this little bear.In "Paddington Takes the Air," Paddington encounters what seem to be the usual, yet improbable, adventures that just haunt him and turn the Brown family and London upside-down. As a bear who found a home with a loving British family after traveling from Darkest Peru, it's not easy to adapt to the ways of civilization, and in a big city like London at that. The most basic things - losing a tooth, for example - are huge events for him, and result in upheaval for all around him.And sometimes he takes up hobbies - like sewing - that result in enormous disasters; even if things start out well, they just don't seem to end as expected - for Paddington or anyone else involved. And Paddington's favorite marmalade sandwiches have a way of turning up in the oddest places.Bond published some 29 books about Paddington, most made up of chapters that are really short stories of the intrepid bear's adventures. I may never get to them all, but I won't stop trying. They're delightful stories for the very young (who can follow a story of more than five pages) or the very old who enjoy anthropomorphic animals interacting with humans, not growing up, and general innocence.If you get to the real Paddington Station, from which Paddington selected his name, there's a statue there of the bear. It's traditional to leave a (fresh and firmly sealed) jar of marmalade.

In this ninth collection of stories about the bear from darkest Peru, Paddington learns how to sew, becomes a detective, restores an antique car and enters an equestrian show jumping event, all with near disastrous consequences. Full of gentle humor and memorable characters. There's a reason adults

This was my first Paddington story and I absolutely fell in love with this little bear and his complete innocence in a confusing and troublesome world. I am addicted and have obtained the rest of the books in the series in order to become further acquainted with this adorable and loving character.

Another great book in the Paddington series and my favorite chapter was the one where he was in an equestrian show and had to ride a horse. The mental picture of a small bear on top of a horse was too hilarious. All the stories are fun and the children loved reading them.
