A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond

5.0

Oh, Paddintgon. What would my childhood be without you? Rereading these stories as an adult, I start to wonder, did my brother and I love this bear so much because we saw ourselves in him? Maybe we two kids from Kuwait who had to move around so much (mostly to the UK and USA) identified with the little bear who immigrated from Darkest Peru and saw everything in London as strange and new. Anyway, Paddington is sweet and kind, and I'm sure everyone has their own stories on why they love him.
