Paddington is delighted when his friend Mr. Gruber suggests going out for a day in the city. Follow Paddington's day of adventure and the chaos that ensues in this beautifully illustrated book.

Paddington bear was created over half a century ago by the English writer, Michael Bond. Bond based Paddington Bear on a lone teddy bear he noticed on a shelf in a London store near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956, which he bought as a present for his wife. The bear inspired Bond to write a story, and in ten days, he had written the first book. Almost everyone knows that Paddington is a bear who usually wears a duffle coat, a rather shapeless hat and, on occasions, Wellington boots. Many people also know that his favourite food is marmalade and that he orginally comes from Darkest Peru.
