Going through a Paddington phase with our youngest, and with a recent visit to London and a stop off at Paddington station itself, I couldn't resist picking up a copy of the first book at its gift shop. A delightful and nostalgic read.

Suddenly felt like rereading this. I first read this as a child and enjoyed it a lot back then. Still love it today. Paddington is so sweet and clumsy (he reminded me of Winnie the Pooh a lot), you can't help but love him and his adventures.

I know I'm supposed to like this book, but, honestly, I found it quite boring. I would give it two stars, but since Gabe said he liked it (although he says that about every book) I decided to bump it up to three. The movie is even worse so don't waste your time on that (we gave up on it halfway through).
