Children's Books News

Paddington’s Easter Egg Hunt was written by Michael Bond and his daughter Karen Jankel for a charity newsletter many years ago. It will now be released as an Easter picture book together with R W Alley’s Paddington artwork, with the audiobook read by actor Jim Broadbent. 

Jankel, who also co-authored Paddington Goes to Hospital with her father, said: “When I first re-read this story that we wrote together many years ago it brought back some very happy memories of working with my father. I’m sure he would have been as delighted as I am that, together with Bob Alley’s charming illustrations, it’s been turned into such a lovely picture book.”
