Paddington is in charge of the "EYETINNERY" and, as Mrs Bird mutters darkly, "There"s no knowing where we might end up." But he"s planning some very good holiday "doings" indeed for the Browns. And Paddington himself becomes the only bear ever to ride in the famous Tour de France bicycle race -- and win a prize!
