Paddington Here and Now |
|
 | Having loved the Paddington Bear series of books as a child, I was delighted to find this Golden Anniversary story. It's a terrific little book, which I read in one sitting. As usual, Paddington gets caught up in all sorts of scrapes, here involving the police, travel agents and of course, Mr Curry from next door. The Brown family and Mrs Bird are ever present and although the children have grown up a little, the feel of the family is the same as in the earlier books. Bond adopts a lightly satirical approach that will appeal to older readers, gently mocking some of the developments of modern society that Paddington encounters. Read it for the nostalgia and recommend it to children of today; I guarantee that the first sentence will take you right back to the Paddington books of childhood. read more.
