Seraphina's Palette: The Celestial Birth of the Elephant's Trunk
In the primordial era, when the world was still being chiseled into its shape, the mighty elephants didn't have a trunk. They were robust and colossal, the rulers of the land, yet they couldn't quench their thirst from the rivers or reach the succulent leaves high up on the trees.

Paddington II
Michael Bond has written a second children's book entitled 'More About Paddington'. In this edition to the series Paddington will learn about how to decorate, spot trouble while learning new skills and what Christmas is all about. Reading this novel from an adult perspective one would think more about just how to be a better person to all no matter how one is treated just how Paddington does with his neighbor at various times and whomever he meets out in the community on his daily jaunts out. To me Paddington Bear is a bear for all seasons of growing.
