This was subject to the worst raping by Hollywood in the history of the written word. I did love it so. Remember the giant translucent snail? And the floating island?

I read a bunch of these. I remember when Paddington smashed the neighbor's watch during the magic trick at his birthday party. Oh! And the time he went to a play and couldn't differentiate it from reality and went backstage during intermission. AND the time he floated out to sea and washed back and thought that he had crossed the ocean!

I liked it when he prepared a cake in the kitchen but didn't operate the electric beaters properly thereby making it look like a tropical storm had hit the kitchen.

I still have my toy Paddington with hat at the end of my bed.

This had the best tone and atmosphere. You could feel the foreboding... The strongest plot in the Dr. Seuss canon.

also, i don't have the covers but:
Tiddalik the frog - where a frog drinks all the water and then a platypus makes him laugh and the water comes back
and Hairy McClary from Donaldson's dairy - which was just just some dogs that all had a poetic introduction like "Hercules Morse as big as a horse"
