Paddington at the Circus

New ed. (2000)
(4) K-3 Illustrated by R. W. Alley. Reissued in a large, square format, this adventure follows Paddington as he attends his first circus and inadvertently becomes a part of the tightrope act. All ends happily with Paddington in bed contemplating a future as a clown. Readers are assumed to bring some previous affection for the bear, and there is little character development in the story itself. However, the comical illustrations and outrageous situation have child appeal.
