These Paddington stories have been diluted for a younger audience than that of the original books, and have lost the characteristic humour of those longer stories. However, since many children come to know Paddington as a TV character nowadays, they will not know what is lacking in these picture book versions: nor will they miss the charm of Peggy Fortnum's superior illustrations.
