I love these books and so do my kids ages 10, 8 & 5. Very quaint stories of adventure and trouble but always end in love or laughter.

This is a classic story. My kids loved to hear about a bear that could talk. They couldn't wait to find out what kind of predicament he got into next.

The whole family enjoyed this book, including the teenagers. Stephen Fry is an excellent reader - just the right touch. One of our family's top favorites.

What child wouldn't want a bear like Paddington to move in with them? Paddington is a sticky, loveable bear who gets into inadvertent trouble and things always somehow turn out alright. It is a delightful book, well-read by the narrator.
