A Bear Called Paddington

I’ve loved Paddington since I was a little girl but hadn’t read this book in ages. It was a perfect way to end 2024 remembering my love for childhood things during the Christmas season. It’s such a great book for kids of all ages to read.

Lovely book gave as a shower gift for my niece along with a stuffed Paddington bear. She loved them

I grew up reading the Paddington Bear stories geared towards younger children and had no clue that a junior novel existed. Seeing the movie sparked my interest again in Paddington and I discovered this book. Although this novel does not contain the delightful watercolor drawings, I highly enjoyed reading the unabridged version of Paddington's story. I would recommend this novel to older children and adults. For younger children there is the book Paddington that has the delightful watercolor drawings. This book is a great way to introduce young children to Paddington. Paddington Bear stories are classics and all children should have the chance to know Paddington. The stories are delightful and children will enjoy Paddington's antics. Please note that the movie plot is different from the book. I would recommend having your children read the first Paddington Bear story before they see the movie. I am so glad that Paddington's stories are being republished. I cannot wait to receive the next story in the series, More About Paddington.

Arrived ahead of schedule, in perfect condition - thanks!

So I have just finished reading about the adventures of an adorable young bear from Darkest Peru, who fortunately for both the Brown family and the young bear in question was led by the mysterious hands of Providence, or Serendipity if you will, to be at Paddington Train Station at just the right time on just the right day in order to meet and be taken in by the luckiest family in England.Anyway through a series of (mis) advetures we get to know this adorable young fellow and of course we can't avoid falling in love with him. He makes us laugh, he makes us cry. At times we worry ourselves sick over the poor little thing but we know by book's end that this bear came to London for a reason so therefore nothing bad will ever befall the fuzzball.And so I hereby award this book four stars out of five. Since the other books in the series are sure to be better I have to leave myself some room for higher grade points.BFN Greggorio!

This CD book was purchased to break the monotony of the rotation of children's music we listen to in the car... My six-year-old daughter, my husband and I love the stories, Steven Fry's voices and the gentle, curious, innocent, very-very funny stories about Paddington in every chapter of this book.We've already listened to the 2-CD book over and again to the point that I thought I'd see if there was more! (for some reason I didn't find more than this book at the the original time of purchase)I have yet to receive, but have recently purchased (from Amazon) two other Paddington CD-books to add to the listening fun that Paddington has brought to our drive time...HIGHLY recommend :)

I was happy share with my granddaughter!

It was a good size for a little girl
