Paddington and Giveaway

Giveaway Now Closed:
Paddington is one of those characters that draws on nostalgia and reminds me of childhood. He is a character that is almost real, someone so familiar or frequently read that it feels a part of my life. There are a few book characters, that my parents read to me, that feel this way. They are an elite group book characters, but I am sure you could guess a few of them.😊
