Description

Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by R.W. Alley.

If Paddington Bear learned anything from his Uncle Pastuzo, it's that home is where you hang your hat. And for Paddington, nothing feels quite like home than being with the Brown family. Whether Paddington is starring in a surprise concert performance while eating a marmalade sandwich or thwarting a burglary attempt from Gentleman Dan, the Drainpipe Man, this one-of-a-kind bear keeps the Brown family home full of adventure and laughter.

First published in 2008, Paddington Here and Now is the twelfth classic novel about Michael Bond's beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.

        Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington's adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don't need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.

        August 1, 2008
        Gr 3-5-Fifty years after his first adventure in "A Bear Called Paddington", this beloved and well-lauded character returns in a charming new chapter book. Reassuringly, things haven't changed much at 32 Windsor Gardens in the 30 years since the last episode: Paddington, a bear "not short of ideas," is still the apple of the Brown family's eye; the darling of their no-nonsense housekeeper, Mrs. Bird; and the bun-and-cocoa-sharing companion of kindly antiques-dealer Mr. Gruber. Beginning with a chapter in which Paddington's trademark shopping basket on wheels goes missing and his visit to the police station goes awry, continuing with several amusing interludes involving the Browns' crotchety next-door neighbor, and culminating with a surprise visit from long-lost Uncle Pastuzo, this volume retains the gentle humor of the earlier installments. Wordplay, misunderstandings, and double meanings abound, all proffered with perfect British wit and comic pacing. Alley's delightful pen-and-ink drawings reflect the spirit of Peggy Fortnum's familiar illustrations while coming across as fresh and original. As delectable as a marmalade sandwich served with a flourish from beneath a bear's hat, this is a must-have for Paddington fans."Joy Fleishhacker", School Library Journal

        Somebody must have given Mr. Bond a good hard stare to persuade him to stop messing about writing for adults and get back to Paddington Bear. Paddington fans will be relieved to know that in this fiftieth-anniversary offering nothing has changed. In a series of episodes, Paddington gets into trouble, never with malice, usually because of a misunderstanding, and always ending in a glorious muddle; at which point Paddington, confronted with an enraged adult authority figure, slips quietly offstage, forgotten, forgiven, and ready for the next chapter. The humor involves much slapstick and wordplay (some of it likely to be opaque to the American reader, but a kipper's a kipper on both sides of the Atlantic). A few modern references -- to frequent flyer miles, the London Eye, and human organ donation -- have crept in, but Mr. Curry, the neighbor, is still grumpy; Mrs. Bird, the housekeeper, is still a force to be reckoned with; and Paddington still wanders about with his shopping basket on wheels (first given to him by Mrs. Brown in 1958) and a marmalade sandwich under his hat in case of emergencies. Best of all, the pen-and-ink illustrations are true to the spirit of the original art, portraying Paddington as gracious, deeply engaged with life, and nobody's teddy bear.
