A review by srreid
Paddington at Large by Michael Bond

5.0

I can't believe i never read these before, each volume in the 12 book set i have is a delight, this is number 5. Mr Brown (Paddington to you and me)has more fantastic everyday adventures with a spot of gardening and an impromptu trip on a lawnmower. Next up is a day out in the park with Mr Gruber, and the bandstand, it is never going to go smoothly with Paddington around. Then the Browns get a new televisoin set, and Paddington catches an intruder in the house. Paddington then gathers everyone round the new tv for the evenings viewing, but he is nowhere to be seen, until the show begins, Paddington is a contestant on the show, Anne Robinson would have mether match with Paddington! The next adventure involves a little experiment in making toffee, in which a trip to the hospital follows. Its getting near to christmas so its time for some shopping - Paddington takes a trip to the bargain basement. Finally its pantomime time and Paddington is enlisted to create the sound effects.
