Paddington is always very excited about going on any kind of trip. Mrs Brown and Judy decide to take him to the sales at Barkridges to see if they can find him a new pair of pyjamas to wear. Paddington is pleased by the pair he has chosen but trouble strikes when he gets lost going to the changing room and ends up in the window display.

This was a cute and beautifully illustrated book for younger children featuring our hapless but enderaring bear!

Found a set of four of these four little vintage books while thrifting - perfect size for little hands and my son had the Paddington Bear audiobook read by Stephen Fry on repeat so these are a welcome addition. We may have a Paddington Bear for Halloween this year ;)

Remember this bear from the 80's. They had a cartoon and everything. I think I even had a book bag with him on it in kindergarden.
