On this page, I recently read, to my considerable surprise, that "There is a large brass statue of Winnie-the-Pooh in Lima, Peru". Never has Emma pressured me to skip lines and whole pages quite like she did with Paddington, so the needle on the Emma-o-meter never got remotely close to "amused".ĭon't believe everything you read on the Internet, part 94 Mishaps with tea time jam were the most enjoyment we could wring from this and it just wasn't cutting the mustard.however, if it cut the cheese we would've been rolling on the floor in stitches.
My British-born friends laughingly call me more "British" than them and since everything about Paddington Bear is very Britishy (even though the bear himself comes from Darkest Peru), I still had to concede to Emma's obvious boredom. I was quite looking forward to it, having never read this famed story, but even I have to admit it plodded along rather slowly and with little reward. Granted, there was a swimming pool awaiting with her name on it, but still, I don't think this book would've gone over well even without the extraneous distraction. She couldn't get through it quick enough. Perhaps the issue is that the ears are new and not British? I thought this would be a grand hit with my young niece, but it turned out to be a dud. * * *Read & Reviewed by Me & My Niece Emma * * *Ī classic for the ages!.that completely fell on deaf ears.
