![]() ![]() Fortunately he turns up and once he spies a baker's shop run by Monsieur Dupont who supplies him with buns he is okay! He very quickly befriends Monsieur Dupont as he know where his buns will come from. And when there he goes missing very quickly so the Browns panic a little and can't believe that he has got lost in half a day. But they eventually make it onto the 'plane where Paddington spends time consulting his 'doings list' to see what he is going to get up to once in France. Once at the airport the troubles magnify as there is a question of Paddington's passport. To get to all that action, the Browns are going on holiday so Paddington makes his own arrangements, going to the library, chatting with Mr Gruber to get a feel for where he is going, arranging money from the bank and then packing an enormous amount of tackle to take with him. ![]() Paddington Brown the bear is a delightful character and in this volume Peggy Fortnum produces some absolutely charming illustrations, particularly of Paddington throwing a fit in his beret when people gather round him and think he is an onion bear and also when he is drinking cocoa from a bucket and when he is whizzing along on a tricycle! ![]()
