Disclosure:  I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Paddington in the Garden

Publisher: HarperCollins (February 17, 2015)

Format:  Paperback

24 Pages

There is nothing that Paddington Bear loves better than living with the Browns . . . except maybe marmalade! But now Mr. and Mrs. Brown have given him something else to love at number thirty-two Windsor Gardens—his very own garden. Paddington sets to work in an attempt to create the most interesting garden he can. In typical Paddington style, hapless mischief leads to blind luck, and his garden turns out to be a most unique site indeed!

Paddington Bear has charmed readers around the world with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This newly repackaged edition of the classic picture book by Michael Bond, with full-color illustrations by R. W. Alley, is the perfect addition to any young reader’s library.

This is our first Paddington book and my 3 year old is hooked.  It features Paddington tackling building a garden in his own unique way.  He has some hiccups but they of course work out for him.  The illustrations are amazing and exactly how I remember Paddington from my childhood.  The story is longer than other picture books so more of a parent reading to a child book as some pages have a few paragraphs.
