About the Author

Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don’t need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.

Editorial Reviews

"Under a bright, newly designed dust jacket lies the same old beloved Paddington, the always dignified, well-meaning, but trouble making bear from 'darkest Peru.' Young readers will enjoy this reissue of the 1962 classic, which includes some of Paddington's best adventures." Booklist, ALA
