Paddington Bear Goes to the Hospital

Paddington Bear Goes to the Hospital by Michael Bond, R. W. Alley, Karen Jankel

Oh, no! Paddington Bear has hurt his arm, and he’s having trouble remembering just how it happened. The Browns are worried enough to take Paddington on his first trip to the hospital. From the moment he arrives on a stretcher with wheels, which he thinks is “very good value:’ to the end of his overnight stay, Paddington takes it all in with curiosity and wonderment … along with a little apprehension! But the kind nurses and doctors, and even the patients themselves, help Paddington see that the hospital isn’t as scary a place as it first seems. At the end of this gentle, reassuring story, Paddington’s arm is set straight and so is Paddington when he discovers that even the hospital food isn’t as bad as he thought it would be!
