Review
"Paddington has joined Pooh as one of the great bears of English children's literature" The Teacher I've always had great respect for Paddington!. he is a British institution. Stephen Fry

From the Publisher
Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington--a most endearing bear from Darkest Peru--on a railway platform in London. A sign hanging around his neck said, "Please look after this bear. Thank you" So that is just what they did.
From the very first night when he attempted his first bath and ended up nearly flooding the house, Paddington was seldom far from imminent disaster. Jonathan and Judy were delighted with this havoc and even Mr. and Mrs. Brown had to admit that life seemed to be more filled with adventure when there was a bear in the house. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A delightful, funny book,
By 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.

A Bear Called Paddington,
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.

So there is not only Pooh Bear!,
By 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.
