I didn't like this. Paddington is a thoughtless menace who consistently creates problems for others, especially those less wealthy than his family. From dripping ice cream on the hats of those in the "cheap seats" to being rude to waiters to having the staff in the launderette do all his ironing. If he is supposed to be a child he should be better supervised, because this is entitled and rude behaviour that should be challenged in a book for this age group. At least we are told Henry is Horrid! It's also rather boring, despite the stories being of good bedtime length I felt little desire to keep reading. Very frustrating all round.
