Lovable Paddington Bear visits the dentist, wrestles with a carnival strong man, and dances with the hostess of a fancy ball. Accompanied by black-and-white sketches, each chapter of this episodic book is a complete adventure. The stories are humorous and the characters, especially Paddington, endearing. The old-fashioned stories work well as family read-alouds.
