A Bear Called Paddington (Paddington Bear)

by Michael Bond Author

Adventures of Paddington, a bear from Darkest Peru. The Browns first meet Paddington on a railway platform in London. He is sitting on a battered suitcase, wearing an odd-looking hat and a sign around his neck that reads, "Please look after this bear. Thank you." And that is just what they do, unaware that home will never be the same once Paddington becomes a member of the family. For an earnest, gentle, and well-meaning bear, poor Paddington has an absolute talent for getting into trouble. Read-aloud early elementary; read-alone middle elementary. There are at least ten other Paddington chapter books in the series.
