Paddington was brought up to show good manners and he will not engage with those who fail to treat him with the same - he knows how to employ a good Hard Stare. During World War II Michael Bond served in both the Royal Air Force and the Middlesex Regiment of the British Army.It had been a lot of hard work but he was glad it had all been worthwhile—even if there was a lot of mess to clear up. I have gathered up postcard images of some of my favourite Fortnum illustrations but it is wonderful to finally have them in one place. I’m thoroughly embarrassed to admit that this was my first experience of reading about Paddington bear. Je suis contente d'avoir enfin découvert un morceau l'œuvre originale i Plus les illustrations sont très sympa.
Explore Paddington’s unique and universal take on life in this very special collection of warm words about friendship, family, love, laughter … and everything in between. From winning the hearts of the Brown family, to sharing elevenses with Mr Gruber and lending a paw around the neighbourhood, Paddington always tries to do his very best for others…even if there are a few well-intentioned mishaps along the way! How to Be More Paddington is more celebration of this fantastic character's warmth than sincere self-help but it is incredibly special nonetheless.I recognised images that clearly accompanied stories from my son's own collection - I do understand why publishers felt the need to modernise. 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. How To Be More Paddington: A Book Of Kindness by Michael Bond is a perfect book for anyone of any age who loves Paddington – and who can resist that little face?
I have read this by myself and also with my two year old; it is a gift to the both of us and one to be treasured always. In 1997 Michael Bond was awarded an OBE for services to children’s literature and this was followed by a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 2015. This book is a sweet compilation of gentle thoughts and words to live by from the books, reminding us to be innocently wise and kind and well-intentioned just like Paddington Brown, even though the results may be mixed. Peggy Fortnum's wonderful illsutrations are accompanied by lines from various Paddington books by Michael Bond.Michael Bond never thought of writing for children but, after producing a number of short stories and radio plays, his agent suggested that he adapt a television play for children. He served in the Royal Air Force and the British Army before working as a cameraman for BBC TV for 19 years.
