Book Description

Publication Date: October 29, 2001 | Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Paddington Bear

This new revised edition of the second book about Paddington captures all the playfulness of the incorrigible little bear. Living with the Brown family in London, Paddington has a talent for getting into trouble. His intentions are always the best, but he is seldom far from disaster. While his independent spirit and curious nature often get him into sticky situations, Paddington is always loved for the cheer he brings, and his stories have been a source of delight for young readers ever since he first appeared on the scene.

About the Author

Michael Bond purchased the original Paddington bear as a Christmas gift for his wife in 1956. A Bear Called Paddington was published two years later. At the time one reviewer said, "It should be compulsory reading for any child from six to sixty. Paddington is the funniest character in children's books for many years." Mr. Bond now lives in London.

This review is from: More About Paddington (Paddington Bear) (Hardcover)

Paddington is a loveable, cuddly, inquisitive, independent bear who lives with the Browns while his aunt is in Peru. This is a classic British children's book that needs to be experienced here in America -- it truly is a wonderful book.
