Book details
Paddington's Magical Christmas
Description
Paddington’s Magical Christmas is a delightful book that follows Paddington the bear as he tries to make sense of the Christmas festivities surrounding him. With his friend, Mrs. Bird, singing about receiving gifts from a song, Paddington becomes puzzled about the celebration of Christmas. Over the days leading up to Christmas, Mrs. Bird's gifts increasingly align with the song 'On the Seven Days of Christmas,' deepening the mystery. This confusion prompts Paddington to seek understanding from his friend Mr. Gruber, who explains the significance and traditions of Christmas. The book is beautifully illustrated and serves as a wonderful resource for young pupils, especially in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), to understand the concept of Christmas, including giving presents, decorating, and carol singing. It can also be used to introduce non-Christian pupils to the religious celebration during a Religious Education (RE) lesson.
