5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful, funny book, November 14, 2001

Jennifer Hoins (Point Marion, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Bear Called Paddington (Paperback)

This is one of the most delightful children's books ever. I listened to my mom (Ann)read the Paddington books to my younger brother and was hooked. When I was younger, I remember my mom telling me about the bear on tv who liked marmalade but was never interested in him until I heard the stories. The stories often ended in tears- we would laugh so much. Well, I guess this is less of a review than it is a recommendation. With all of the worthless children's literature out there, this one stands out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bear Called Paddington, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Bear Called Paddington (Paddington Bear) (Hardcover)

Classic story of Paddington the Bear who comes to live with the Brown family in London. Most children know the stuffed animal but haven't heard the escapades. This issus is a welcome addition to children's libraries. Very good, humorous, fun animals, with good black and white illustrations. Recommended for K through the 4th grade students.

5.0 out of 5 stars So there is not only Pooh Bear!, November 4, 1999

Stella DeBarros (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Bear Called Paddington (Paperback)

My daughter read this book for school and truly enjoyed it. Although only 8 and there were some challenging words and concepts, she was enamored with Paddington and all his silly antics. Now the stuffed animal has better meaning for all of us at home.
