"English is a funny language. They don't waste words - they make them have lots of different meanings instead. But it can be complicated."

Oh, Paddington you summed up what many people from other countries probably think about the English language :) That's just too funny!

I thought this was a cute book where we get to see Paddington's letters to his Aunt Lucy. They are all from previous stories from the other Paddington books but I enjoyed reading them again in a new format.

This was a much quicker Paddington read because of the letter format so I'm doing a shorter review of it. We hear from Aunt Lucy and why she decided to send Paddington off on his adventures, letting him experience more of life than just hanging out with old retired bears at the home. We get Paddington's view of being sent away and the full story of how he got to London by ship and met the Brown family. It was great to see the letters that Paddington sent to Aunt Lucy, telling of all his adventures! It was a fun addition to the series.
