As you may have heard, the next Paddington film was released not long back, I have been lucky enough to be able to review the book for you!



In this book of the film, Paddington is living with the Brown's in London while his Aunt Lucy is approaching her hundredth birthday and Paddington has his heart set on getting her the perfect present, in the form of a pop up book of London which he learns is also a rare book after a chance meeting with actor, Phoenix Buchanan. The actor inspires Paddington into finding a suitable job he can do. However, as Paddington spots a thief stealing from the antiques shop where his book is he wants to buy he tries to stop them but gets arrested himself and thrown into prison as the police mistake him as the thief! The Brown's take it upon themselves to clear Paddington's name as fast as they can!



A fun packed book for old fans and the newer generation to fall in love with Paddington once again!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

We first meet Paddington funnily enough at Paddington Station where he encounters the Brown Family. He makes a home with the Browns and becomes part of their family. He makes friends with many of the residents at Windsor Gardens, but he never forgets the Bear who brought him up, Aunt Lucy.

It is fast approaching Aunt Lucy's 100 Birthday and Paddington wants to get something extra special for her. He finds the perfect gift in Mr. Gruber's Shop, a Popping Book. The book is stolen and Paddington is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now Paddington and the Browns must discover the true culprit and clear Paddington's name.

Very enjoyable story. One I took great delight in while reading it to my little niece, who also loved it. One just can't help but fall in love with Paddington. The humble little bear who sees the good in everyone and brings out the good in most people.

Paddington returns for another fun-filled instalment of marmalade and mishaps in a star-studded new movie! Join the irresistible Brown family and their adopted bear, plus a whole new cast of heroes and villains. Bigger and better than ever, the story of the new Paddington movie is both hilarious and heart-warming. Guaranteed to capture the hearts of fans, old and new!

4 out of 5 stars. Paddington 2 is based on the movie that came out, a sequel obviously to the previous movie. My son enjoyed reading this cute little read. We have not watched the sequel but hope to watch it soon.

Lovely book about Paddington’s new adventure in a movie. Paddington is always a positive, happy go lucky bear and we could all learn from his way of looking at life. This is a story about making friends and being kind to others. At the same time it has lots of action and adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Easy to follow and read. Great to read to children or just for a light hearted read on holiday.
Happy reading 📖

As charming as the film, a faithful adaptation from the original screen play that does not deviate from the film's plot, even reproducing original dialogue. Not Michael Bond, but nevertheless, delightful.

Second time I am reading that book, and IT IS ONE OF THE COZYEST BOOKS I EVER READ!
It is really cozy, as I said. It is heartwarming, homey, english-styled book, about the kindiest bear in the world. I just loved reading it so much (a year ago, and now.)

[Chelsea May xxx · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Victoria Sigsworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this as I did with the first movie book tie-in before I went to see the third film. I also give this one 5 stars. Very well written by Anna Wilson. I refer you to my review of the first one as this one warrants the same excellent review.

Will his beloved family be able to rescue Paddington?
This was an adventure packed story with plenty of action.
You will not be able to put this book down ad is a real page turner. I would recommend this book for children age eight plus.
