Paddington Takes to TV
Paddington Takes to TV by Michael Bond with drawings by Peggy Fortnum and Ivor Wood is a delightful read. This post will be in a Q&A style.
What led you to pick up this book?
I bought it online at Christianbook.com for just US$0.99. What a great bargain!
What did you like most about the book?
I enjoyed reading the misadventures of Paddington, the bear from Darkest Peru. Although he has a talent for getting into trouble, it will always turn out right in the end. In this book, his stories are all involving the television program called Blue Peter.
What did you like least?
Nothing that I could think of.
What did you think of the main character?
Paddington? He is such a lovable young bear with his signature red hat and duffel coat. He is a bear with a strong sense of right and wrong, and he’s full of hope. He loves marmalade sandwich! I love reading how he’d use his paw to scoop up the marmalade he so fancies. I also enjoyed reading the show of affection the Browns have for him including their housekeeper, Mrs Bird. Paddington is very much a part of their family. I truly love this bear who talks, reads, and writes! He even authenticates his correspondences with his paw as signature!
What about the ending?
There are seven stories in this book and they all have nice endings—all are funny and heartwarming.
Would you recommend this book?
Yes
Should anyone NOT be encouraged to read it? Why?
None that I could think of.
Would you read more Paddington books?
For sure. I would very much like to know more about this bear. In fact, I’ve placed an order for all the Paddington Bear books.
Would you re-read the book?
Yes
