This book is about a bear from darkest Peru called Paddington. Now before you ask why he has such an unusal name I may tell you his story, one day Mr & Mrs Brown were going to Paddington station to pick up their daughter Judy home after her summer vacations, instead they found a bear sitting on a bench with a suitcase. They asked the bear if he wanted to stay with the Brown’s family, the bear politely replied yes, so the bear was named after the station, Paddington. So, Paddington keeps having adventures for example falling in tubs of hot water, creating havoc underground in the subway stations, having funny shopping expeditions, painting first prize paintings by accident, becoming an actor in a theatre and dropping marmalade sandwiches on top of peoples head in the theatre, going to the seaside and sailing in buckets all day long and making eggs disappear and making them reappear under peoples bums. So now to my opinion: truly DAZZLING book! A very very rare book to find, I even have a Paddington coat which used to be my mother’s when she was small and a Paddington stuffed toy. If you want to narrate this book to a young child, I say he\she will love it.
