Review: Love from Paddington

Love from Paddington Love from Paddington by Michael Bond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

enjoyable reminder of why my favorite bear was such a fun read when i was a kid and now i enjoyed it as an adult. this is written in the form of letters between paddington and his Aunt Lucy. These stories are from Paddington's perspective so some are likely to sound familiar to those that have read some of the classic editions of his escapades. if you haven't read Paddington i would suggest its a great fun read

Paddington holds a place dear in my heart.  This is a character introduced to me by my 2nd grade teacher.  She would hold tea parties with Paddington and read these books as a class.  This started my interest in the character that led to quite a collection of his stuffed characters, including one purchased in London.  I can recommend this series for reading with children to introduce them to the beloved character and his innocent antics.
