Paddington Helps Out by British author Michael Bond, OBE (
Wikipedia), illustrated by Peggy Fortnum (
Wikipedia), is a vintage classic children's illustrated story book in the beloved series starring the titular bear (
Wikipedia), this being the 3rd one, originally out in 1960, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins.
This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes Canada store.
Currently free, probably just through Monday @
Amazon,
Kobo,
iTunes, and
Google Play (all available to Canadians, and not in any of the other countries that I spot-checked, though YMMV).
And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
Because vintage beloved children's classic. For free! (if Canadian)
And I keep meaning to track down the Latin translation of such:
Ursus Nomine Paddington, which is hopefully going to go through another reprint cycle the way that
Winnie Ille Pu irregularly does.
Enjoy!
Description
“Oh dear,” said Paddington, as everyone turned to look at him accusingly. “I’m in trouble again.” Somehow trouble comes naturally to Paddington.
What other bear could upset the whole cinema by standing on his seat to boo the ‘bad guy’ in the cowboy film? Or drip ice-cream on the people down below? Or flood the launderette and saw Mr Curry’s kitchen into little pieces? Only Paddington! But when Paddington’s head is so full of ideas, some things are bound to go wrong!
