owenbiesel 's review for:

A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond
4.0

I loved the narration in this story, letting us fill in characters' motivations where it's easy to connect the dots, and dropping in insightful gems like this one:

Mr. Brown sighed. He knew when he was beaten. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the idea of keeping Paddington. Secretly he was just as keen as anyone. But as head of the Brown household, he felt he ought to consider the matter from every angle.
