This book is a conglomerate of short stories about Paddington, with recipes and crafts mixed in.
Some of the stories were cute; some were so-so. I liked the style of the book, with the mix of things, but some of them were just way too hard to make for the intended audience, in my opinion. Of course, the book is 50 years old, and maybe children were more advanced in being creative and figuring things out.
