Description:
"A bear? On Paddington Station?" When the Brown family spot a small bear in a floppy hat perched on a battered suitcase at London's Paddington Station, they can hardly believe their eyes. The little stowaway has travelled all the way from Darkest Peru, sent off by his Aunt Lucy with a label reading "Please look after this bear." The kind-hearted Browns take him in, name him Paddington after the station, and welcome him into their home at Windsor Gardens — and from that moment, life is never quite the same. Wonderfully polite, endlessly curious, and forever fond of marmalade, Paddington has a gift for turning the most ordinary outings into extraordinary adventures, whether he's attempting his first bath, getting lost on a shopping trip, or causing chaos at the theatre. This timeless 1958 classic is a warm, gently funny treat for young readers and families.
