Book Review 1:PADDINGTON MAKES A BID

This story is on 'PADDINGTON HELPS OUT'.

Paddington is a bear. He can speak English. Paddington is always in trouble.

In this story, Paddington goes an auction sale with Mr. Gruber who is a neighbor of Paddingon.

Paddington is interested in antiques and brought all his money to the auction. In fact, Paddington doesn't know about auction and he buys something expensive...

Thanks to Mr. Gruber, Paddington doesn't have to pay for it. (Mr. Gruber paid for it.)

By the way, Paddington loves marmalade and he gets a preserves stand to keep his marmalade in. The stand is one of the expensive goods. However, there is no one who wants to buy it ... except Paddington!

Paddington gets it and gives it to Mr. Gruber.

There are a lot of stories from PADDINGTON. I have read through 'A BEAR CALLED PADDINGTON', and I have been reading 'PADDINGTON HELPS OUT' which includes this story.

As I said, Paddington is always in trouble. However, he develops as a person (a bear?) through his experiences.
