Paddington Bear at the Circus

by Michael Bond and beautifully illustrated by artist R.W. Alley

Harper Collins Children
From the website...The circus has come to town! Paddington Bear and the Browns have front-row seats, and they can't wait to see the show. Inside the circus tent there's a ringmaster with a top hat, a very, very tall clown, a band ... and a funny-looking man hanging from a rope above Paddington's head. Always willing to lend a paw, Paddington rushes off to save the trapeze artist. The circus is turned upside-down, but the show must go on - and it does, thanks to a surprise performance by Paddington Bear.

The official Padding Bear website...This is the home of Paddington Bear on the web where you will find everything you ever wanted to know about the famous bear from Darkest Peru and his creator, Michael Bond.
