I Can Read Book series.
Adapted by Christy Webster.
Illustrated by
R. W. Alley.
These volumes, each "adapted...from an original Paddington story written by Michael Bond," find the Browns at the beach (Sail) and in France (Plays On). In both, Paddington wanders off and makes gentle mischief; it's not very specific to the classic bear "from Darkest Peru" (a line from Sail that won't resonate with Paddington novices). Alley's illustrations play up the character's bumbling cuteness. Review covers the following I Can Read titles: Paddington Plays On and Paddington Sets Sail.
