A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond
Get where I got the idea for my imaginary
cat’s name? Anyone who grew up in England will understand the love and
admiration from a small bear from Darkest Peru. I wonder at why I have not read
this delightful book sooner!!!! I must have seen the television series when I
was younger. Whether or not you have seen or read Paddington’s adventures, he
is a well-known bear. And I say, read his adventures. Delightful probably isn’t
a strong enough word to express my love for this book. London has accepted the
fact that there is a bear wandering about the metropolis, wearing a blue duffel
coat and carrying a suitcase that normally contains some food item. Mostly
marmalade sandwiches. This book will excite any child’s imagination and if it
doesn’t tear you from your phone, then something is seriously wrong with you. I
am going to take this gem whenever I go to London and remind myself that
amongst the hassled commuters and stressed out tourists, there may be a lost
bear sitting on his suitcase, waiting for someone to take him home.
