Product Description
Christmas is coming, and Paddington has saved just enough bun money to take the entire Brown family to Barkridges store for a holiday adventure. But things don't turn out at all as Paddington had planned...and Barkridges may never be the same! Leave it to Paddington, that beloved bear from Darkest Peru, to turn a chaotic Christmas disaster into an unforgettable holiday surprise! Join Paddington Bear as he embarks on a variety of new adventures. HarperCollins Children's Books is pleased to announce the launch of an entirely new series based on the world's most
beloved bear. With original stories by author Michael Bond and a fresh new look created by R. W. Alley, Paddington will charm another generation of readers eager to befriend the duffle-coated, marmalade-eating bear from Darkest Peru.
In this first book, Paddington joins the Brown family on a Christmas excursion to Barkridges department store. A trip through Santa's Winter Wonderland almost ends in chaos, but Paddington saves the day, with a little help from Santa Claus.

 once more with feeling! February 16, 2008
hesikastor
another paddington bear book that charms and delights and is read over and over without ever growing stale. the best aspect for parents is that it doesn't tell lies. the santa is clearly a store temp. and the winter wonderland is a tired show of shoddy plastic. and paddington's disappointment is overcome when those things are refurbished because his imagination does the rest. again: bond teaches without preaching, a difficult thing to do and which he does well!
 Book is fine, Amazon is awful April 3, 2006

I am extremely disappointed that Amazon is becoming more and more of a problem store for me. I've noticed that it is taking them well over a week and sometimes 2 weeks to ship most items. I ordered this book in late Jan, Amazon delayed the shipment 3 times, first to late Feb, 2nd time to mid March and on the third time it was going to be late April. I finally became fed up, cancelled it and just bought it from another store. The book is wonderful, Amazon is plain awful. Beware!

Paddington is on another adventure again. This story is about Paddington's trip to Barkridges to see the Christmas displays and Santa Claus, but the trip is not what he expects. He tries to help Barkridges and fix the faulty displays, but causes more commotion than help. However, Paddington did help when the story appeared in the newspaper, bringing the crowds and a few improvements to the store. And Paddington received a special present from Santa. This beautifully illustrated book has vibrant, new drawings giving Paddington a fresh new look. This books will become a favorite of any Paddington Fan.
