Adopting for their own the lost bear they find in Paddington Station, the Browns have some exciting first moments with him.

Paddington Bear

On a breezy summer day, Gretchen and her family head to the ocean. Gretchen wants to swim with her older brothers and sister, but everyone ignores her. When the wind steals her new sun hat, she catches it by its ribbon and is lifted into the sky, far, far above the beach, where a friendly seagull is happy to play. This ode to imagination is one of four small books each featuring a different sibling and season, created by children’s book veteran R. W. Alley. Look for Mitchell on the Moon and Annabelle at the South Pole in Fall 2016.

Gretchen Over The Beach

Mr Krieb

Simple, rhyming text follows a group of children as they creep down the street, passing ever more frightening creatures, on their way to pay a holiday call on a witch.

We're Off to Find the Witch's House

Somehow when a certain bear called Paddington is around things never seem to go to plan and this story is no exception!

Paddington's Busy Day

It’s Halloween, and Mitchell’s littlest sister, Gretchen, looks up at the moon and sees that part of it is missing. Gretchen's other siblings, Annabelle and Clark, scornfully tell her that the moon is just hiding behind some clouds, but Mitchell indulges her and sets out to save the moon. A humorous and slightly scary fantasy ensues before the four children set off for trick-or-treating. This spooky fall story joins Clark in the Deep Sea, Gretchen Over the Beach, and Annabelle at the South Pole in a four-book series that celebrates the power of imagination, created by the veteran children’s book illustrator R. W. Alley.
