About this book

Paddington’s Magical Christmas is a book about Paddington the bear who hears his friend Mrs Bird singing a song not long before Christmas day. It seemed her true love had sent her a partridge in a pear tree. Over the next few days the mystery deepened as Mrs Bird sang different quotes from the song On the Seven Days of Christmas. Paddington didn’t understand the celebration of Christmas so didn’t understand what Mrs Bird was singing about. So Paddington went to his friend Mr Gruber who explained the celebration of Christmas to Paddington.This book could be used for the EYFS stage as explaining the topic of Christmas to the pupils. The book highlights the key features of Christmas e.g. giving presents, decorating, carol singing etc. The book is highly illustrated and made appealing for young pupils. It could also be used in year 1 to introduce the religious celebration of Christmas to non-Christian pupils during a R.E lesson to allow them to understand the concept of Christmas.

About Unknown Author

Michael Bond, OBE, (born in Newbury, Berkshire) is an English author, most celebrated for his Paddington Bear series of books. Bond began writing in 1945 and sold his first short story to the magazine London Opinion. In 1958, after producing a number of plays and short stories and while working as a BBC television cameraman (where he worked filming Blue Peter for a time), his first book, *A Bear Called Paddington*, was published. This was the start of Bond's most famous series of books, telling tales of a bear from "Darkest Peru", whose Aunt Lucy sends him to England, carrying a jar of marmalade. The Brown family found the bear at Paddington Station, and adopted him, naming the bear after the station. By 1967, Bond was able to give up his BBC job to work full-time as a writer. Paddington's adventures have been published in nearly twenty countries, and has inspired pop bands, race horses, plays, hot air balloons and a TV series. Bond stated in December 2007 that he did not plan to continue the adventures of Paddington Bear in further volumes. ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bond
