A Legsötétebb Peruból jött medve legeslegújabb kalandjai is megfelel a híres-neves Paddington-hagyományoknak: megmosolyogtató, pergő cselekményű, kedves, váratlan fordulatokkal teli mesék fűzére, amely nem mentes a megszokott bond-i társadalomkritikától sem. Bár Paddington láthatóan el-eltéved a mindennapi élet útvesztőiben, valójában a vele kapcsolatba lépők sem bizonyulnak minden esetben nálánál talpraesettebbnek.

A legsötétebb Peruból jött medve újabb kalandjaiban tovább folytatódik a felfedezések sora: Kis barátunk többek között családi csoportképet készít, tűzijátékot rendez és a hagyományos karácsonyi bevásárlásból, készülődésből is kiveszi a részét. A csetlő-botló, ámde mindenkinek örömet okozni akaró kis medve komoly erőfeszítéseket tesz, hogy átlásson az emberi lét kisebb-nagyobb összefüggésein. Felfedezéseinek komikuma pedig pontosan e kísérletek gyakori sikertelenségéből ered.

Köszönöm" - Így kezdődnek a távolról érkezett csetlő-botló, városi Micimackóvá formálódó kis medve kalandjai.

There’s nothing Paddington likes better than a bedtime snack. But what with nightmares, a bath in his pyjamas and a week’s worth of washing to do, perhaps eating marmalade sandwiches in bed isn’t such a good idea after all?
