Analysis
•
A Bear Called Paddington was the first of many books that gained the love of young
readers. Paddington is an articulate animal part of the genre of modern fantasy that has
many childlike qualities. The adventures that Paddington experiences and the moods and
emotions Paddington often has are relatable to children and encourages them to want to
read more and be part of the excitement conveyed in Michael Bond’s stories. “A Bear
Called Paddington” has a very endearing feel with a very adventurous and simplistic
theme. Because Paddington resembles a lot of childlike qualities this book opens the eyes
of adults and teaches patience because children often react or act the same way
Paddington does in certain situations. For example the first time he experiences
escalators or when he attends his first play and takes the scenes too literally and thinks
the actors actually mean what they are saying. A book with so much engaging dialogue
and narrative is fun for children to witness the adventures and mishaps they experience
too. This is a book that is read in homes and at schools and the note that was attached to
Paddington when he was found at the the train station “Please look after this bear”; this
note pulls the book together. The note obviously shows that Paddington needs to be
watched with a close eye because anything can happen with him around. The note itself
foreshadowed the events the Browns would experience with Paddington as well as tying in
the simplicity of it all.
