Michael Bond’s gently enchanting stories about Paddington, a bear from Peru who finds a home with the Brown family in London, are enjoying a renaissance of late, thanks to an upcoming live-action film.
Paddington’s adventures were some of my favorite books growing up, and they have been so for my son as well. If you’d like to introduce your little ones to the well-meaning, if accident-prone, bear, you can find a selection of cuddly Paddingtons and Paddington books at Goldenberry in New Canaan. As an added bonus, you’ll also find all the fixings for an authentic English tea, perfect for serving up alongside story time.
A broad selection of children’s books (and cuddly characters) includes Beatrix Potter, Madeline, and more.
Goldenberry is located at 149 Cherry St. in New Canaan, Conn. For more information, phone (203) 972-5887, or visit goldenberry.com.
