A funny picture book about Paddington, the beloved, classic bear from darkest Peru - soon to be a major movie star!

Its Springtime again and Mr Gruber is taking Paddington down to the canal to join in the fun at the Spring Carnival. Hoping to win a boat ride for two, the friends enter the Busy Bee Adventure Trail. Ages 4+.

Paddington enjoys a fun-filled day at the fair with the Browns. He tries his paw at the coconut shy, slides down the helter-skelter and even jets off on a sky-rocketing space craft ride! All in all, a rather exhausting day for a small bear, as a fortune-teller knowingly predicts.
