I LOVE Mem Fox! Possum Magic is one of our all time favourites. I used to have Wilfrid Gordon as a child and you’ve given me a sudden urge to read it again!

I love when Mem Fox and Julie Vivas get together, such a pair! Must check out the Paddington PB, I was also a fan when I was a kid, LOVED that book, that character, so much.

Totally agree about Fox and Vivaldi — total magic.

I was also skeptical of the short Paddington when it was gifted to us for our firstborn, but it turned out be a good intro of the vibe of the stories that fit her attention span. I'd love to hear if others have recommendations for similar types of/styles of adaptations!

Yes! And great question -- there are other Paddington picture books (we have a few of them) that hold up well, too.
