HERE COMES THURSDAY

Thursday the Mouse fell from a balloon having just escaped from the Home for Waif-Mice and Stray-Mice. The Pecks adopt him into their family of church mice and they name him Thursday because the day he arrived was a Thursday to remember.

MONSIEUR PAMPLEMOUSSE ALOFT

Pamplemousse is asked to advise on gastronomic treats to be offered to VIP’s flying on a dirigible from France to England. The entente cordiale is at stake but strange events lead Pamplemousse to suspect that all will not go according to plan..

MORE ABOUT PADDINGTON

With his attempts at home decorating, detective work and photography, the Brown family soon find that Paddington Bear causes his own particular brand of chaos.

PADDINGTON ABROAD

The Brown family go off to France for a holiday. Paddington is put in charge of the maps and itinerary, which means that things do not turn out quite as anyone expects…

PADDINGTON AT LARGE

Further adventures of this enterprising but trouble-prone bear. Not only does his toffee-making put him in hospital, but he also steps into an important role in the local Christmas pantomime at the last minute, completely transforming the show.

PADDINGTON AT THE CIRCUS

When the circus comes to town Paddington and the Browns get front row seats. Paddington sees a man dangling from a rope by his ankles and rushes to help. The result is a circus turned upside down and a daring young bear is the star of the show.

PADDINGTON AT WORK AND OTHER STORIES

Paddington has a knack for ‘smelling out things’ and his sharp nose, supported by marmalade sandwiches, leads him into many adventures, whether it’s lending a paw to a famous Russian ballet dancer, or serving baked elastic instead of ‘Baked Alaska’ !

PADDINGTON GOES TO TOWN

Paddington's love of marmalade is as well known as his ability for getting into scrapes. Even such simple tasks as visiting Mr Curry in Hospital, where Paddington is mistaken first for a patient and then for a medical student, seem bound to come to a sticky "marmaladey" conclusion.

PADDINGTON HELPS OUT

Paddington is a very helpful little bear: he tries his paw at do-it-yourself, with disastrous results. He also takes the family washing to the laundrette where he attempts to unravel the mysteries of automatic washing machines.

PADDINGTON HERE AND NOW

Paddington Bear has always felt at home with the Brown family who found him on Paddington station. Until one day, a surprise visitor arrives at thirty-two Windsor Gardens. Is it time for Paddington to decide where 'home' really is?

PADDINGTON MARCHES ON

Paddington takes a trip to the seaside, goes on a mystery tour with his friend Mr.Gruber and makes a clean sweep with a do-it-yourself chimney sweep outfit.

PADDINGTON'S FINEST HOUR

Paddington always finds himself in unusual situations, so it is no surprise when he has a run-in with the police, appears in a TV cookery show, and gives one of his hard stares to a hypnotist!

THURSDAY AHOY

Thursday and his friends set off on a fabulous river trip.

THURSDAY RIDES AGAIN

Thursday the mouse and Harris build a car, and the Peck family are delighted to accept their offer of a trip to the coast. How were they to know that they would end up in France with no obvious way of getting home?
