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!

Such a lovely read! It's the kind of book which makes you laugh and gives you a warm feeling. I love it so much. Paddington is the sweetest bear and always seems to get himself into mischief without meaning to. The Browns are such a wonderful family!

This book is recommended for children, but it would make a fun and easy-going read for the adults too.

I haven't sent the film yet, but so many people have said it was really good, so I thought I would request the book on NetGalley and see what all they hype was about. I must admit, personally the book doesn't live up to the hype of the movie. It is a really short book, and I found it to be a little too fast paced, however, this may be appealing for children as they don't have to keep their attention for long.
There aren't any illustrations in the book, which I was a little disappointed with, as I loved the illustrations in the classic Paddington books, and it may have enhanced the book! The language used is simple, which makes it accessible which is good because of the age range of those who will be enjoying the Paddington film which the book is based on.

If you enjoyed the movie (which was wonderful!) then you will love the book! This has given my son and I three lovely evenings reading together.

A very well written book with a lovely story and a lovely message about always seeing the good in people!
