Join Britain’s favourite marmalade-loving bear on a royal London adventure in Paddington at the Palace by Michael Bond. When Paddington’s good friend Mr Gruber takes him to Buckingham Palace to watch the famous Changing of the Guard, the crowds outside the railings are so big that a small bear can barely see a thing!
Determined not to miss the spectacle, Paddington tries every trick he can think of to get a better view—from peering through Mr Gruber’s binoculars to weaving through the crowd—until a mysterious helper "on high" comes to his rescue. Brought to life with R. W. Alley’s warm, classic watercolour illustrations, this charming story is a wonderful bedtime read or London keepsake for young Paddington fans.
