    Michael Bond

    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.

      More About Paddington is a truly delightful read. I find his adventures most amusing. In his own words "Things happen to me - I'm that sort of bear!"
      Paddington is kind hearted, but not everything goes to plan, despite his confidence! I particularly enjoyed chapter two, A Spot of Decorating - it's absolutely hilarious, and I can imagine it will be a favourite chapter for many readers. Yes, Paddington encounters lots of adventures, and his antics are fun and lovable! I look forward to reading more stories and adventures about this delightful character.
    • 3/5
      This book has taught my son a lot of things, like about what Guy Fawkes Day is (information that he needed to understand a reference in the Simpsons episode we watched today (the Mary Poppins parody from season eight)) and that you can lose yourself in a room by wall-papering over the door and window (which also he saw in a Shaun the Sheep episode).

      I've mostly given up trying to read the dialogue in accents, except for the words of Mrs. Bird, who sounds right with a Maine accent, even though I know it's unlikely she would have had one in real life (were she not fictional).
    • 5/5
      As much of a delight as the first Paddington book.
    • 3/5
      A small bear lives with a British family.3/4 (Good).It's more cartoonish and considerably less memorable than the first book.
    • 4/5
      “I’m a patriotic man, said Mr Brown, but I draw the line at bears playing the national anthem at 6 am. Especially on the xylophone.”Paddington continues to be “up to something”. Our troublemaker from Darkest Peru have all the best intentions, but something always goes wrong. Mr. Brown raises his voice, Mrs. Brown flees to Paddington’s defense. Gentle and heartwarming humor, I just love Paddington with his childlike wonder and curiosity and more grown up pride and “hard stares”. Stephen Fry’s reading is impeccable.
    • 4/5
      More fun adventures of Paddington Bear. I especially liked the chapter where he decorates his room. Seriously - I feel like that sometimes when I'm doing some DIY. Some days nothing goes right.
    • 5/5
      This book continues from the previous book, "A Bear Called Paddington".Paddington is now firmly settled down in the Brown household and he is one of the family. So the Browns decide to give him his own room and they start to decorate it. But Paddington decides he wants to decorate his own room. This is the start of madness and chaos as Paddington realises how difficult it is to paint and paper the walls!In other adventures, Paddington becomes a detective, learns about fireworks, sees snow for the first time (thereby earning the wrath of the neighbour Mr Curry) and experiences Christmas for the second time.This is a beautifully illustrated wonderful book. This will stay on my shelf forever to read over and over. Highly recommended! :-)
