A Bear Called Paddington (Paddington) (Modern Classics on Tape) (BCP Latin Texts)

by Michael Bond

Complete and unabridged, read by Jeff Rawle

"A bear on Paddington Station?" said Mrs Brown in amazement. "Don't be silly - there can't be."
But there certainly is, and it's not long before the Browns realise just how much chaos one small bear can cause for a family! Whether it's shopping, having a bath, or a trip to the seaside, Paddington always finds himself involved in the most extraordinary goings-on without even trying!

Reviews

I don't know that I ever actually read any of the Paddington books as a kid. I do remember watching a bit of the tv series. I was pleasantly surprised. This was really good and I imagine as a kid I would've loved it. Paddington is hilarious. I especially liked the theatre chapter - particularly when he freaks out at the idea of paying twenty pence to rent the glasses. And the magic tricks. Mr Curry's watch had me in hysterics. Great story. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Such a sweet book. I'm not sure if I've ever read this before, but it's clear why it's a classic.
