Paddington Bear and the Busy Bee Carnival

This series by artist R. W. Alley features delightful adaptations of Michael Bond's classic bear stories, about Paddington the Peruvian bear, and the English family that adopts him. The bright, colorful artwork is perfect: it captures the warmth and whimsy of the original series, presenting us with a little, wobbly, innocent bear who is every bit as fuzzy and lovable now as he was 'way back when. Recommended! (Note: there are several other picturebooks in this series with artwork by R. W. Alley... all well worth looking for!) (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

our kids have all the paddington books and this is a great one, beautifully illustrated as ever. there is so much in it all delivered humorously: the cheat who gets his comeuppance, paddington solving the insolvable, the magic, the quiet love of an adult friend, all these are so nourishing to a child's spirit. long live paddington; may his marmalade jar ever stay full!

What could be more fun than a Carnival? Paddington decides to enter the Busy bee Adventure Trail Contest, trying to find the most objects that start with the letter "B." Children will not only be able to help read this story, but search the illustrations to find the "B" words that Paddington Bear does. This book is great to encourage children to think of their own words. Buy this one today and you will not be sorry.
