This the seventh book in the series, and I'm still laughing as much as ever. In fact, this one may be the funniest of them all so far. It's hard to choose one favorite chapter, but if I had to, I'd say it's the final chapter, when Paddington performs in the ballet at Judy's school. Every chapter in this book is hilarious. Paddington is fun for all ages!

Like I've said in previous Paddington Reviews - I really enjoy listening to his misadventures and all the things he gets into. To me, the mundane things in these stories are what it makes it so "magical". Paddington is the one who makes the mundane, magical.

Uroczy kochany niedźwiadek powraca, tym razem w książce „Paddington przy pracy”. Michael Bond stworzył postać, która chwyta za serce kolejne pokolenia. Uroczy Paddington to bardzo pracowity niedźwiadek. Stara się sumiennie wykonywać swoje obowiązki i bardzo rzetelnie przykłada się do zleconych mu zadań. Tym razem, po niefortunnym zdarzeniu z akcjami naftowymi nieistniejącej spółki, postanawia zacząć pracować. W tym celu najmuje się u pana Curry’ego, pomaga panu Gruberowi, a także zatrudnia się w zakładzie fryzjerskim. Oprócz pracowania Paddington umie także odpoczywać, na przykład podczas przedstawienia baletowego.Ale jak to w przypadku Paddingtona bywa, jego niezwykły dar do pakowania się w kłopoty i tym razem go nie opuszcza. Na szczęście ten przesympatyczny miś ze swoim nieodpartym urokiem oczarowuje wszystkich, a to, co zdawało się wielką katastrofą, zmienia się w błyskotliwe pomysły i nieszablonowe rozwiązania.Jak zawsze podczas lektury przygód Paddingtona i tym razem bawiłam się świetnie. Niejeden raz uśmiechnęłam się z sympatią i pokiwałam ze zrozumieniem głową. Ten miś z pewnością skradnie Wasze serca.To jak - zaprzyjaźnicie się z Paddingtonem?Michael Bond „Paddington przy pracy”, il. Peggy Fortnum, wyd. Znak EmotikonWiek czytelników: 5+Liczba stron: 160

I'll consider buying the whole Paddington series after reading this one!Paddington returns to the Browns after his trip back to Peru. He starts to get involved in several jobs, but whatever he does, he only finds himself in trouble. Fortunately, he always seems to turn the table around and wins everybody's heart, and every disaster turns out to be blessings in disguise!Funny and simple, this one is definitely a must if you're into children's books and a fan of Paddington!

It's been a while since I read a children's book and this one brought me so much memories! I only watched Paddington as a cartoon growing up so for the first time reading it on audiobook was so exciting! Very funny and light read I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a plunge back into childhood :)

Paddington, the innocent little bear who finds himself far from Peru in London with the Brown family, he’s settled and has made friends. He always finds trouble though and in his book he ends up involved in a bit of work with often hilarious consequences. Another excellent Paddington book that will entertain all ages, not just kids.

Paddington really has the heart of a lion and the innocence of a child. Mr Curry truly irritates me with his continual attempts to manipulate young Paddington. I really wanted to reach into the book and throttle the scheming bully!

Still enjoying my Paddington books at the age of 51. Timeless humour really, and a delightful interlude between more serious or complex reads. This one has the chapter with Paddington at the ballet performance at Judy's school, which cracks me up every time. Delightful.

This is a playful, fun book and a good addition to the Paddington series. As with the other books its a good novel to read to children and a great start for any little ones who are learning to read. I highly recommend this book
