About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to take the lead or help with big family plans, but might need a gentle reminder that things rarely go perfectly. In this installment of the classic series, Paddington is put in charge of the Brown family's vacation itinerary to France. While his literal interpretations and bear-sized mishaps lead to unexpected detours, the story beautifully models how a family can navigate frustration with humor and grace. It is a wonderful choice for kids ages 6 to 10 who are developing independence and learning to handle the 'hiccups' of life. Parents will appreciate how the Browns validate Paddington's efforts even when the results are messy, reinforcing themes of unconditional love and the joy of shared adventure. The book's sophisticated vocabulary and episodic structure make it an ideal transition into longer chapter books.
