READ BY PAUL VAUGHAN. Paddington is very excited. He is going on a day trip around the city with his friend, Mr Gruber. With his suitcase full of marmalade sandwiches and Mrs Bird’s umbrella in case it rains, the bear from darkest Peru is ready for anything. Or almost. How is Paddington to know that the other tourists will think he was their tour guide? And how could he guess that they will follow him everywhere? Chaos and humour are hand-in-hand in this new story about the bear who always gets it right in the end.

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

Over the years, Paddington has been illustrated by a number of different people. Which style of illustration do you prefer? Why?

The reason that everyone has gathered around Paddington is that they think he is the tour captain because they say tour captains always hold up their umbrella to show who they are. 'I'm not a tour captain. I'm a bear,' said Paddington, most annoyed. But the tourists think that the hopping on and off the bus is a quaint old English custom and when they discover that it isn't, they are too late for the bus has moved on. Create some puppet versions of the characters in this story and use them to perform it to an audience. Titled The Grand Tour: Eurocrash, the series sees Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May embark on a huge 1,400 mile journey through Central and Eastern Europe. The trio will travel from Gdansk in Poland, through Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, sampling some Soviet-style Formula 1 and recruiting a famous racing driver along the way. In the book, Paddington asks for a booklet about the places in the tour. Can you make your own information booklet about landmarks in your local area? Chaos ensues as once the tour begins people hop off the bus and the surrounding area 'looks like a battlefield', according to Mr Gruber. So he takes Paddington away to a little tea shop where he says they can read the guide book given them 'until the fuss dies down'.Take a look at our Paddington Afternoon Tea Menus below.

Everyone is pleased with the outcome and one man says, 'The exercise has done us good. I haven't felt so fit in years.' Je ne lis visiblement pas les albums dans l'ordre, car Paddington a un meilleur ami dans celui-ci que je ne connais pas du tout, mais cela n'a aucune importance. C'est vraiment le genre d'histoire qui peut se lire indépendamment et j'apprécie cela.
