About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has had a day where their best intentions resulted in a total muddle, or when they are feeling discouraged by small failures. Paddington is the ultimate mirror for the well-meaning child: he is polite, curious, and deeply eager to help, yet his literal-mindedness often leads to chaotic (and hilarious) disasters. Whether he is trying his hand at DIY home repairs or attempting to cook a formal dinner, his heart is always in the right place. Through these episodic adventures, the Brown family models unconditional love and patience, showing children that mistakes are a part of life and that they are loved regardless of the mess they leave behind. It is a gentle, comforting read that validates the effort of trying, making it a perfect wind-down story for children ages 6 to 10 who are navigating the pressures of doing things 'the right way.'
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and gentle. There are no major traumas or sensitive topics. The only tension arises from Mr. Curry, the grouchy neighbor, whose irritability provides a foil for Paddington's kindness.
