Paddington's Magical Christmas

More about the 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.
