Paddington Takes the Test

Paddington takes a driving test.

The funny adventures of everyone’s favourite bear, Paddington, now a major movie star!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Paddington Takes the Test sees everyone's favourite bear facing the challenges of a driving test.

"ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS!" That's what Paddington had read on the glossy leaflet showing a large, sleek, silver-grey car. It took him a long time to eat fifteen packets of currants in order to enter the competition. However, the Rolls-Royce he'd expected to win turned out to be one of ten thousand consolation prizes β€” a bookmark!

Then, to his surprise, Paddington finds himself taking a driving test. Much to his amazement, he is presented with a licence allowing him to drive a rather unusual vehicle.
