Paddington (60th Anniversary)
Pickup available at The Shop
Usually ready in 24 hours
A small bear from Peru, a battered suitcase, a label around his neck and a marmalade sandwich somewhere about his person. Paddington arrives at Paddington Station and the Brown family's lives are never quite the same again. This is the original story, in a sturdy board book edition, and it is an absolutely wonderful thing to put into a child's hands.
We love it because:
- It's Paddington. The original adventure, from the very beginning, with R.W. Alley's warm and beautifully detailed illustrations in full colour throughout
- Board book format means it survives everything: the chewing, the dropping, the being loved very enthusiastically by someone who doesn't yet know their own strength
- The story introduces kindness, curiosity, belonging and the quiet magic of being welcomed by strangers, all without ever making a fuss about it
- One of those books that parents find themselves reading with genuine pleasure, every single time
What's in the box:
- Board book, 32 pages
- Full colour illustrations by R.W. Alley throughout
- The original Paddington adventure by Michael Bond
- Published by HarperCollins
Great for:
- Ages 1 and up, through to children ready to graduate to the longer Paddington chapter books
- A new baby gift, first birthday present, or a beautiful addition to any early bookshelf
- A shared reading book that works just as well for the grown-up reading it as for the child listening
