About the Book
In this charming festive adventure, Paddington is determined to help the Brown family get everything ready for a truly special Christmas. From writing letters to Santa to making handmade cards, there is plenty to keep the accident-prone bear busy! What makes this book extra special is its interactive format: tucked within the pages are five genuine envelopes for children to open and explore, including an Advent calendar, Paddington's own handmade Christmas card to Aunt Lucy, and a bear-shaped Christmas tree decoration to keep. Illustrated throughout by R. W. Alley in warm, nostalgic style, the book captures all the gentle humour and heart that have made Paddington stories a firm favourite with families for over sixty-five years. Sturdily bound as a hardback novelty title, it is built to withstand enthusiastic little hands, making it a lasting addition to a family's holiday traditions.
