How to Be More Paddington: A Book of Kindness: The perfect gift for fans of Paddington

Product Information

Indeed, so many of the values and points of manners which are so important to Paddington feel like they belong to a different age.

Because of that, Michael Bond's description of Paddington as a 'built-in resident guru' is a very apt one. This lovely hardback book all about the adorable paddington bear is wonderful, the pictures some in colour some just sketches and little phrases and sayings from the sweet bear himself little words of wisdom, I highly recommend this book for all paddington fans! This is an extremely minor point though and I can understand why this aspect of his character would be trickier to include in a book that is just a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.I have gathered up postcard images of some of my favourite Fortnum illustrations but it is wonderful to finally have them in one place. How to Be More Paddington is more celebration of this fantastic character's warmth than sincere self-help but it is incredibly special nonetheless. He served in the Royal Air Force and the British Army before working as a cameraman for BBC TV for 19 years. Now you can learn how to be more like the much-loved bear from Darkest Peru in this uplifting collection of inspiring – often hilarious – quotes from the enduringly popular books by Michael Bond, with beautiful illustrations by the original Paddington illustrator, Peggy Fortnum.

Both pictures and words could be used as starting points for chatting with young children about the importance of being kind, just like Paddington.
