corncobwebs 's review for:
A Bear Called Paddington
by Michael Bond
Judy took one of his paws. "Come along Paddington. We'll take you home, and you can have a nice, hot bath. Then you can tell me all about South America. I'm sure you must have had lots of wonderful adventures."
"I have," said Paddington earnestly. "Lots. Things are always happening to me. I'm that sort of bear."
An incredibly sweet feel-good story. I love how the Browns accept Paddington with no questions, and there's really no explanation as to why or how this tiny talking bear from Peru exists. It's not an alternate universe where talking animals are the norm, nor is there any kind of magic that would call talking animals into existence. Paddington is just Paddington, and no one questions the fact that he talks and wears clothes. I love that he's polite and curious about everything, and that his curiosity often leads him into amusing scrapes. I wasn't expecting to love this book so much - it would be a perfect pick-me-up book for sick days from work or school.
