For more than six decades, stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all over the world.
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 the sky-rocketing Space Craft ride! All in all, a rather exhausting day for a small bear as the fortune-teller knowingly predicts . . .
