Please look after this bear
Paddington, a small bear from "darkest Peru," definitely needs looking after as he always finds himself in one sticky situation after another.I discovered P. only a few years ago.I had MEANT to read the P.books for YEARS, but somehow hadn't gotten around to it. After I finallyread A Bear Called Paddington, frequently laughing out loud at Paddingtons'"situations," I immediately found the next three books, then thenext three...Read more

Wonderfully entertaining ... for both the kids and you!
We LOVE this CD set!I bought it 2 years ago for my daughter to listen to for naps and bedtime, and now at age 5 she's STILL asking for it every night.
AReview ofA Bear Called Paddington
This proved to be a wonderful purchase. The stories are entertaining for both parents and children and are perfect for long car trips. Excellent alternative when you don't want the kids in front of the television.

Fantastic!
A classic!I loved Paddington as a child and I'm thrilled to have this in our CD collection.(I'd even listen without the kids!).Stephen Fry reads the stories very well. ... Read more

Paddington Bear
I shall reserve my review of this and the other 3 other items listed until such time as I receive a response to my previous 2 emails in relation to them.

Introduce little ones to Paddington
I loved the "real" Paddington stories as a young girl. When I saw these versions for younger kids at the library, I checked some out to see if my daughter would enjoy them. She loves them! The longer, original stories are much too complex for her (she's 2). But these introduce the characters and are filled with the same humor and warmth of the original stories. The illustrations are wonderful and bring my beloved Paddington to life. We love these books and have now purchased some for our collection!

Cute for its age group!
It may seem like a "dumbed-down picture book" version of the original story --- because it's meant for a YOUNGER READER!!The age group for this book is clearly stated as AGES 4-8, while the original is for AGES 9-12.This is a wonderful book with delightful illustrations for the 4-8 year old.It's just the right length for parents to read to the kids (without falling asleep) and for beginning readers to read it themselves. ...

Let's Have Lots More Paddington!
As a librarian, I have a fondness for, indeed a fascination for, good children's literature. I've loved Paddington since childhood, and am pleased to see new Paddington stories out. Hopefully, there'll be some more full-length books as well. It is funny that Michael Bond once said that he'd never go into Paddington's past in a book--yet he does here. No matter--this book is a treat for the Paddington fan who's followed all the old books, finally explaining how Paddington was orphaned, how he came to live with his aunt, even his original name in Peru. There are all sorts of little touches of this lovable, well-meaning, and very polite little bear's personality throughout ("Suppose I hadn't gone to Paddington Station? I might have been named 'Mornington Cross'!") R. W. Alley's illustrations are charming, capturing our little friend's personality and charm. (Everyone in the bookstore thought I was crazy...they kept hearing "Awww..." every time I turned the page.) And it's good to see Paddington's spelling has improved so much! All in all, a treat for the lifelong fan and the newcomer. Now, when are we going to see Paddington on the big screen? ... Read more

Book is fine, Amazon is awful
I am extremely disappointed that Amazon is becoming more and more of a problem store for me. I've noticed that it is taking them well over a week and sometimes 2 weeks to ship most items. I ordered this book in late Jan, Amazon delayed the shipment 3 times, first to late Feb, 2nd time to mid March and on the third time it was going to be late April. I finally became fed up, cancelled it and just bought it from another store. The book is wonderful, Amazon is plain awful. Beware!

Paddington Saves the Day Again
Paddington is on another adventure again. This story is about Paddington's trip to Barkridges to see the Christmas displays and Santa Claus, but thetrip is not what he expects. He tries to help Barkridges and fix the faultydisplays, but causes more commotion than help. However, Paddington did helpwhen the story appeared in the newspaper, bringing the crowds and a fewimprovements to the store. And Paddington received a special present fromSanta. This beautifully illustrated book has vibrant, new drawings givingPaddington a fresh new look. This books will become a favorite of anyPaddington Fan. ... Read more

Will greatly appeal to modern generations
The appearance of this classic in solid hardcover reissue format will delight librarians whose collection holdings include aging titles: the bright cover enhances this new edition Paddington Goes To Town, and will greatly appeal to modern generations and will introduce them to the exploits of a small bear who journeys from 'darkest Peru' to join the Brown family in a series of zany events. ...

illustrations are by Ivor Wood, not Peggy Fortnum
The stories in this book are, as usual for a Paddington book, entertaining. All feature the British television show Blue Peter in one way or another. My only complaint is that the Amazon listing for the paperback version (ISBN 0618250719) says the illustrations are by Peggy Fortnum (whose drawings I prefer), but it turns out they're actually by Ivor Wood.My two-year-old daughter loves the book no matter, though. ...

Classic for all ages
My toddler has loved this book since he was six-months old.He loves the pictures and rhymes on each page.It has been a constant favorite and we have read it together over and over and over again.A must have for any toddler's collection.

Great book for babies
My 1 year old loves this book, and so do I. It's simple, short, and rhymes--perfect for both of us! If you love Paddington Bear, you will want to get your littlest ones started with this book.

Those 14 pages go quick

Learn with Paddington
Spring cleaning can be fun if you are cleaning with Paddington Bear. This book helps children learn their colors, while re-enforcing them with brightillustrations. The book, writeen without a storyline, allows children totell their own version. Also, there are some points in the book when thedifferent colors are mixed together, helping children understand thisprocess. A great addition to a preschooler's bookshelf. ... Read more
