Paddington Bear: courageous, proud, forever fond of adventure and always a bear of his word.
Adopted by the wonderful Brown family of 32 Windsor Gardens, the young Paddington was discovered waiting at his namesake railway station in London. Carrying just a suitcase (with a special secret compartment for all his important papers), an old bush hat and a simple instruction from his beloved Aunt Lucy in Peru (‘please look after this bear’), Paddington swiftly became a cherished member of the household, despite his hilarious capacity for catastrophe and his overwhelming interest in particularly delicious marmalade sandwiches.
This series of picture book adventures by Michael Bond, illustrated by R. W. Alley, are perfect for reading with younger children.
Michael Bond wrote fourteen Paddington collections, beginning with A Bear Called Paddington, illustrated by Peggy Fortnum, ideal for younger readers and reading aloud.
A pitch-perfect adaptation of Michael Bond's classic A Bear Called Paddington for the very young (0-3), this colourful board book is the perfect introduction to the marmalade sandwich-loving bear from Peru.
A special bear deserves special books. From a facsimile edition of the original 1958 edition of A Bear Called Paddington through to slipcased celebrations of his adventures, these are all volumes to treasure.
