"Bears like Paddington are very rare," says Mrs Bird, "and a good thing too, or it would cost us a small fortune in marmalade." The Brown Family first met Paddington on a railway station -- Paddington station, in fact -- and now he is just another member of their family, if a slightly unusual one. As he says himself, "Things happen to me -- I'm that sort of bear." With his attempts at home decorating, detective work and photography, the Brown family soon find that Paddington causes his own particular brand of chaos.

This review is from: More About Paddington (Paddington Bear) (Hardcover)
Paddington is a loveable, cuddly, inquisitive, independent bear who lives with the Browns while his aunt is in Peru. This is a classic British children's book that needs to be experienced here in America -- it truly is a wonderful book.
