Reviews

[Richard Newbold · Rating 4 out of 5]

Paddington goes to Portobello Road, discovers the "joys" of supermarket shopping, and after a series of misunderstandings and scrapes, everything goes well. This is one of the Picture Book series from the 1970s with fine illustrations by Fred Banbery, and is designed to be read with very young children as the pictures are full of interest. As ever, Michael Bond's easy literate style brings out the humour and challenges of how a newcomer to Britain learns the whys and wherefores of living here, through the indomitable spirit of one likeable bear.

Cute little board book about Paddington going shopping for his food.

Decent flow. Love when the chap gets some marmalade and then gets into a hijink.

definitely wasn't 28 pages. I thought it was weird he bought marmalade when he always says about making it. but thought he was very kind to give away his sandwich to the birds.

Cute story of Paddington navigating British life but didn’t have the charm of some of the others.
