The Hilarious Adventures of Paddington: Five Books to Enjoy

Updated on May 20, 2015

I read them as a teenager and have also read them to my kids.

Yes when I was a teenager I some how found Paddington. But for me five was not enough. I saved my money and when I had enough I went back to the bookstore and bought the next in the series, and the next one and the next one. At the time my collection reached 12 books and an earlier release of the first book. I can tell by the price and the printing within that says 3rd dell printing October 1969.

There have been other types of Paddington books. But those don't count as they are usually individual stories taken from the original chapter books. And yes I do have some of those as well.

All images except for Amazon related have been provided by me.

With Christmas coming books are a Great gift

And a set of books are even better

I know that this looks like I am focusing on a collection of Paddington books. In a way I am. But not completely. What I am trying to display is the importance of reading and how a boxed set of books can go a long way as a gift. Not only for Christmas but at any time.

This box set was given to me as a gift. Granted I don't remember when but it was still a gift. This gift then inspired me to read even more as I wanted to get more books. And those books I would save for and spend my own money on.

A few decades later and I still have this set of books in my collection. I have had other boxed sets of books that have been passed on or donated but not this set. Sometimes there are books or other things that will touch you in such a way that you wish to hold onto them so that you can share them with other. In this case with my kids.

So think about those you are planning to get a present for this coming Christmas. And remember that reading is something that is fun and relaxing for many people. For me I know that Paddington is one that I enjoyed as a kid as did my kids. And someday maybe these books will be read with theirs. We will see.

The first story about Paddington Bear. I thought it would be fun if you could also see an animated version of the story.

If you enjoy reading Paddington then you may also enjoy watching him - Another great find on Amazon

A few years ago I was in a local library when I found this set of DVD's. I checked it out immediately and then continued looking for other things. When I got home I had a Paddington marathon complete with popcorn and marmalade sandwiches. Shortly after that I won an amazon gift card at work. And yes this was the first thing on my list. I had to juggle a couple of other things to stay within the amount of the card but this one never left my cart.
