Paddington Bear has charmed readers of all ages for almost 60 years! Now part of the I Can Read line, Michael Bond's classic character will delight beginning readers with his curious nature and nose for adventure. Paddington discovers a love of painting when Mr. Gruber shows him just how fun it can be. But he's not the only one--Mr. Brown has an artistic streak, too. So when a painting contest comes to town, the winning picture is a surprise to all. Because when Paddington is involved, the ordinary turns extraordinary! Paddington's Prize Picture is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.
