Product Description
Little ones will love this simplified story of Paddington's arrival, with an easy-assemble 9-piece jigsaw on every spread.
One day, a small bear from Darkest Peru arrived at Paddington Station with a suitcase, a jar of marmalade and a label around his neck that read 'Please look after this bear'…
Over fifty years ago, Paddington first came to London and since then has become synonymous with the city; beloved by locals and tourists alike for his earnest good intentions and amusing adventures.
Now the youngest children can enjoy his first adventure in a simplified story with gorgeously nostalgic Film Fair classic animation images and a press-out and play jigsaw to complete on every spread.
