Paddington Treasury

The stories might be lovely but the packaging and the book arrived heavily damaged wI am very disappointed as this was a gift.

Beyond the idea of darkest Peru - which is probably comes from the age of the book - the stories are glorious and i enjoy reading them to my daughter Paddington is quite a bear and provides lots of material for teachable moments

What a wonderful way to spend quality time with your beginning reader -- or for the independent reader to have fun reading, with both the child and grandparent (in my case) sharing in lots of humour.

You can tell some of the stories are missing from this collection, but it is a great price, for a large collection of some of my favorite childhood stories. Sincerely, Ira Carmel.

Parents will want to use this as read-aloud material: it provides a thick treasury of Paddington Bear stories, accompanied by Peggy Fortnum's line drawings watercolored by her step-granddaughter. Paddington Bear is always in trouble, and this provides an excellent, whimsical set of adventures for newcomers and prior Paddington fans in a fine keepsake edition.

Paddington, a small bear from "darkest Peru," definitely needs looking after as he always finds himself in one sticky situation after another. I discovered P. only a few years ago. I had MEANT to read the P. books for YEARS, but somehow hadn't gotten around to it. After I finally read A Bear Called Paddington, frequently laughing out loud at Paddingtons' "situations," I immediately found the next three books, then the next three...I am delighted that the Paddington books have now been bound in one volume and am equally delighted to be adding this to my collection.
