Review: Paddington Bear is everyone’s favourite bear, along of course with his slightly more famous colleague, Winnie-the -Pooh, both who have been entertaining young and old for years, and both British creations. With immigration still being a hot potato at the moment though, do not worry as I have put my foot down and told Priti Patel in no uncertain terms that Paddington is to be given full British citizenship, no questions asked. To think that she was going to sign a deportation order, sending him back to Peru, and mainly due to jealousy, because she knows he could do a better job as Home Secretary than she can. This is the second book in the series, and first published in 1959, and our popular bear is ready to get (unintentionally) into more scrapes. Here we see him then taking up photography, doing some decorating, becoming a sleuth, dealing with Bonfire Night, snow and Christmas, all in his own inimitable way. Illustrated throughout by Peggy Fotnum, Michael Bond’s tales remain timeless, because as such this is really a group of interconnected short stories, rather than a conventional novel. These books are really timeless entertainment, and not just for children. Some of Paddington’s well-intentioned but alas slightly awry ideas and actions are things that perhaps many of us have done at one time or another, thus resulting in some at the time serious, but when you look back on it, comic mayhem. Paddington as such always seems to remain so polite, although he does have that intimidating stare of his, and thus we are offered well written clean fun that is ideal for all the family. It is interesting to note, that not only is he famous but that he has two statues erected of his image, one of course at Paddington Station, and the other actually in Lima, Peru. Surely these are statues that no one will want to pull down. One thing I should mention as an idea for parents with little ones, and that is to teach your children the Paddington Bear stare, as my mother taught us when we were little. Once this has been perfected it can be used to great effect on others. I have been told that I had intimidated a boss once and was threatening. I was just staring at her as she told a series of lies, and she became aggressive as she tried to outstare me, which she could not do.

Review: My Son and I enjoyed every minute of this classic story and I did not hesitate to purchase the next book in the series immediately as we finished this one.
