More About Paddington

Reach for this book when your child has had a day of well-intentioned blunders or feels like they do not quite fit into the adult world around them. More About Paddington continues the adventures of the polite, marmalade-loving bear from Darkest Peru as he settles into life with the Brown family. Through his series of comical mishaps, from an accidental home renovation to a misunderstood photography session, children learn that mistakes are a part of growing up and that being earnest and kind is more important than being perfect. It is an ideal choice for the elementary-age child who is beginning to navigate social etiquette and the complexities of being a good neighbor. The stories offer a gentle, humorous look at belonging and the comfort of being loved exactly as you are, despite the occasional mess or misunderstanding. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's perspective while modeling resilience and the importance of a sincere apology.
