What is The Paddington series by Michael Bond about?
Written by Michael Bond from 1958 onwards, the Paddington series follows a polite young bear from Darkest Peru who arrives at London’s Paddington Station with a suitcase, marmalade and a note asking someone to look after him. Welcomed by the Brown family, Paddington settles into suburban life, where everyday errands become comic adventures through his misunderstandings, curiosity and talent for accidental chaos. Later stories take him further afield. Ideal for children aged around six to nine, the books suit independent readers and read-alouds; expect mild peril, mishaps and brief moments of homesickness.
