Paddington Takes the Test audiobook

Every time I think I've read all the Paddington books, I find another one! This one, published in 1979, is as much fun as the previous ones. The first chapter, in which Paddington takes a driving test, is one of the funniest stories in the series. I also especially enjoyed the chapter where Paddington irons a frilly "Beau Brummell" shirt that Mr. Curry is planning to wear to a fancy-dress ball. The Paddington books are great fun for all ages.

Paddington takes a driving test and makes beef Wellington. Hilarious adventures with Paddington are just what you need when the rest of the world is going mad.

If paddington was writing this review he would get coaxed into his neighbour to do it, fall in the garden landing in a bush need to be rescued by the browns with mr brown paying someone off for the hassle and ending with a paddington hard stare....but it's me. Just joyful, read it

This is one of my favourite Paddington collections yet!

Mr Currie appears a lot in this book and he gets Paddington in a lot of mess. I'm still liking Paddington's misadventures but feel this one isn't as funny as the others.

It was an awesome book

another good collection of Paddington's (mis)adventures.In this one he accidentally takes a driving test, causes more trouble with Mr Curry etc.

I love this book and Paddington Bear!!! Although this is farther into the Paddington timeline, it still was a charming collection of stories that really reminded me of Winnie the Pooh stories I used to read when I was a kid. And even though I love Pooh Bear, while reading the Paddington stories the reader can easily get a lot more humor out of them because of the fact that this bear takes things literally. A perfect example of this is in the first chapter, when Paddington is taking the driving test and the instructor tells Paddington to "bear right" which leads him to believe that a bear (animal) is on the right side of the road. See this is just a taste of the joy and wonder that is Paddington Bear and I of course highly recommend anyone to go buy this book, if you can find it at your local bookstore. One last thing I liked about the Paddington stories is that they all connect to each other in the fact that they all occur around the same time period, so that was good. Michael Bond brings such a charm to this character that anyone of any age can enjoy and has made me a Paddington fan just by reading the first book (at least mine). Now that is definitely a good sign. Now I really want some marmalade!!!

Paddington Takes The Test (1979) by Michael Bond is a wonderful fun-filled book. In this book Paddington goes on numerous adventures including trying out a hammock, being a model in an art studio, accidentally locking his neighbour Mr. Curry in a sauna, taking a driving test, going to a stately house and the theatre, doing some ironing and designing and getting a gift for Mr. Brown’s birthday.I really enjoyed the book from start to finish. Paddington is such a fantastic protagonist. Really adorable and really funny. He makes each story brilliant with his sparkling personality. The writing is outstanding, flows incredibly easily and is super imaginative and creative. Great slices of life.A very joyful must-read.

Another collection of Paddington bear adventures, and they had my children in stitches. The titular ‘Takes the Test’ chapter opens the book, and is probably the weakest of the seven included, but the rest are excellent; Mr. Curry’s surprising adventure in the Brown’s garden probably being the highlight.

This book is talking about Paddington, which is a talking and walking bear, accidentally taking a driving test, becoming a model at an art school, or being sawed in half at a magic show. But no matter what adventures are awaiting him, Paddington always comes through them one by one with funny stories.

Another fun Paddington book featuring Paddington accidentally taking a driving test, trying to find a birthday gift for Mr. Brown, and locking Mr. Curry in a sauna. Good laughs for my 7-year-old grandson.

You can’t go wrong with a Paddington book. They’re all balms for the soul.

I'm 51 now, and I still love all the Paddington books just as much as I did when I was a child. My favourite episode in this book is the sauna adventure. So funny!

This was my first Paddington book and I found it enjoyable and relaxing.

Loved this book . That’s why am a big fan of Paddington makes me laugh out loud sometimes.❤️
