Not surprisingly he packs a suitcase full of marmalade sandwiches to go with him and he also takes Mrs Bird's umbrella in case it rains. On the way to join the tour bus they stop in a park and Paddington eats his sandwiches while Mr Gruber shows him some photographs of the places he wants to visit on what he called the 'Hop-On - Hop Off bus'. When they arrive to board the bus Paddington is surprised to discover that it h In this adventure Paddington joins his friend Mr Gruber on a tour of London. When they arrive to board the bus Paddington is surprised to discover that it has no roof. Mr Gruber explains Paddington and the Grand Tour it is made that way so that passengers have a good view of the sights. Paddington tries to get a guide book in Peruvian from the bus inspector and while he is doing so the tourists rush onto the bus and claim all the upstairs seats. Paddington tries to say, ' I'm forming a que He then expains to everyone that it is a hop-on hop-off bus which means that the passengers look at the view and then hop off! Chaos ensues as once the tour begins people hop off the bus and the surrounding area 'looks like a battlefield', according to Mr Gruber. So he takes Paddington away to a little tea shop where he says they can read the guide book given them 'until the fuss dies down'. By then it is raining so Paddington raises Mr Bird's umbrella to keep dry. In the tea shop everyone else gathers and Paddington and Paddington and the Grand Tour Gruber get no peace; Paddington and the Grand Tour beginning to wish I had brought my disguise outfit,' declares Mr Gruber! The reason that everyone has gathered around Paddington is that they think he is the tour captain because they say tour captains always hold up their umbrella to show who they are. I'm a bear,' said Paddington, most annoyed. But the tourists think that the hopping on and off the bus is a quaint old English custom and when they discover that it isn't, they are too late for the Paddington and the Grand Tour has moved on. In ture Paddington tradition, he saves the day as he arranges for Mr Gruber to show his photographs while he reads the relevant entries from the English language guide book that the bus inspector had given him. Everyone is pleased with the outcome and Paddington and the Grand Tour man says, 'The exercise has done Paddington and the Grand Tour good. I haven't felt so fit in years. He says, 'It seems a very good job for a rainy day. Especially if you have your own umbrella! I adore Paddington for his mannerism, his aura and his genteelness. Paddington and the Grand Tour this series feels like going home once again. Jul 31, Linn J rated it really liked it. Lovely to listen on a short episode of Paddington. May 05, Nina rated it really liked it Shelves:childrens-lit. This took me back to my days as a tour guide - the umbrellas were essential! Jul 18, Nicolewinter rated it it was ok Shelves: international. I found this book in Oxford, England and thought it would be cute to share with children before visiting London. It was for my collection of books that I have in case I have my own children some day. The plot is not spectacular, and the reader does not even get exposed to actual sites. Most of the focus is that Paddington is mistaken for a tour guide of a double decker bus. There are some fun play-on-words similar to Amelia Bedelia but not as frequent. Having heard of Paddington, but not knowing a lot about Paddington, I was not very impressed with the plot. I bought it more as a token souvenir because Paddington is famous with children's literature and from England, so I added it to my growing personal collection of children's books. This is a larger sized and fully illustrated book for children and the young at heart adult to read. The illustrations are so cute and fun to look at which was my motivation for reading them in the first place! Paddington is adorable in this series of books for kids who are advancing with their reading. Mr Gruber decides to take Paddington on a bus tour of London and they get there early to get a good seat.

However chaos starts to erupt when the brash and loud group of tourists mistake him for the tour guide and start following him around London. Dec 20, Heather rated it it was ok Shelves: own. I was excited to introduce Olivia to Paddington Bear but this story is disappointing. And I don't thing it conveys the charm of PB and O has never asked to read it since the first time. I hope I can find another story Paddington and the Grand Tour she can get excited about this adorable bear. Mr Gruber wants to take Paddington on a hop-on-hop-off tour bus, but when Paddington is left in the queue while the Tour Guide goes to look for a guidebook in Peruvian the bear is mistaken for the Tour Guide Apr 07, Sem rated it really liked it Shelves: youth-fiction. Peggy Fortnum will always be the Paddington illustrator for me but Bob Alley's Paddington and the Grand Tour is loving and detailed and comfortable in a way that I find vastly appealing. And he even does a creditable version of the 'hard stare'.
