Michael Bond

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.

Reviews for Paddington at Work

[Jean-Pierre Botha · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Funny and great story line. Kept me entertained for long.

Although he really enjoyed the last chapter with the Russian ballet dancer, I think my son's interest in this series is flagging. This works for me as I'm ready for a break anyway. We've read so much Paddington lately, I'm starting to dislike marmalade, and I've never even had it before.

[Nelson Shek · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It’s funny and with Paddington causing trouble again, it’s even more interesting.
