Alley Ages 4-8 160 pages Harpercollins July 2014 Hardcover     The live-action film based on the Paddington Bear stories has inspired a rush of re-releases of the Paddington catalog. More than 50 years ago, Michael Bond wrote the first stories of what became a beloved children’s literature character. The Paddington Treasury is a collection of six Paddington stories. R.W. Alley’s illustrations give life to the warm, well-mannered, marmalade-loving bear. The collected stories include Paddington’s introductions to the Brown family, followed by adventures at the zoo, the palace, and more. Each adventure finds the accident-prone bear in precarious situations, but with help from the patient Brown family, Paddington gets through. The six stories are each primed perfectly for bedtime. In his red hat and blue coat, Paddington has sent millions of kids off to bed.     web reviews   Lori West/2014 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
