This one felt even shorter than the last one. Perhaps Paddington is so pleasurable it seems to be fleeting. Atticus was particularly curious this time about why Judy and Jonathan sleep away at school, and in the way old time cameras worked. Charming in an affected way by all its British nostalgia, but delicious all the same. And the Christmas chapter is enough to warm anyone's heart.

The fun adventures continue. Sweet Paddington gets himself into more sticky situations and again, always manages to land on his feet.

To tell you the truth, although I've said before that I love Paddington as a character and as a TV show and not so much as books, reading this back in June in a sunny London park while eating sausage rolls and cake really got me into the right mood.

The poor benevolent Mrs Brown always tries to calm his husband down and be positive about Paddington's good intentions despite the bad results, but when Paddington has "a special reason for wanting to be alone", you can be sure it won't end well. I wouldn't be much better with wallpaper, though.

I'm not sure if it was the setting or the fact that I liked this more than the first book, but I will keep these in my Kindle for the moments when I need something light and innocent to read.
