Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-Paddington is back in this easy reader, this time visiting France. After a special greeting, he and the Browns are thrilled to learn that they have arrived in time for the town festival. Paddington has a wonderful time but learns that the band has a sick drum player. It's Paddington to the rescue! After practicing all day, he's ready to step in, but he can't see over the huge drum. Will he be able to keep up and follow along? Illustrated with pen and watercolor, this installment is a great adventure, has a nice sense of place, and ends with a BANG! VERDICT Recommended for travelers and bear lovers.-Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review

These volumes, each "adapted...from an original Paddington story written by Michael Bond," find the Browns at the beach (Sail) and in France (Plays On). In both, Paddington wanders off and makes gentle mischief; it's not very specific to the classic bear "from Darkest Peru" (a line from Sail that won't resonate with Paddington novices). Alley's illustrations play up the character's bumbling cuteness. [Review covers the following I Can Read titles: Paddington Plays On and Paddington Sets Sail.] (c) Copyright 2017.
