Unfortunately, Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, died at age 91 recently. In order to celebrate the lives this book and character has touched, we’ve (Guppy and I) have chosen some cool “Paddington Bear” items to remember him by.

As much as we love “Goodnight Moon” our family is a bit offbeat (you’ll definitely come to notice this as we continue this journey). As such, one of our favorites is “Goodnight Goon” by Michael Rex.
