What is Happy Birthday, Paddington about?
It’s Paddington’s birthday, and the Browns have given him a magic set so he can put on a spectacular show. Paddington practises his tricks carefully, but his unfriendly neighbour, Mr Curry, is watching from next door. When the party begins, disappearing eggs, card tricks and a paper-folding surprise do not go quite as planned. Can Paddington save his performance and give everyone a birthday to remember? A warm and funny story filled with muddles, magic and marmalade.
