PreS-Gr 1--Paddington and the Brown family are going to the beach for the first time in this beginning reader. The tide is low, and Paddington is ready for anything...except the big wave that sweeps him out to sea in his pail. The Browns search the beach for Paddington and soon find him near the pier, where a crowd has lured him back to shore. Although there is not a lot of word repetition, the large type font and cheery full-bleed illustrations make this miniadventure accessible to kids who are getting a little more comfortable reading independently but may still need a little help. VERDICT A beloved bear and a seaside adventure make for an appealing addition to any large early reader collections.--Jessica Marie, Salem Public Library, OR
