A excellent read-aloud for my 3-year-old. We both enjoyed it very much. There were some passages that just made me laugh. Somehow hearing it aloud was much more humorous than when I read it to myself several years ago.
Cute book. Episodic more than a wide story arc. Felt like a collection of short stories about Paddington getting into all sorts of trouble. I think the movies (at least the first one) might be better-written because it has an overall story to it with emotional points while the book don’t have any stakes to it. Still a cute book.
Timeless. Still as magical as when the stories were read to me 30 years ago.

I didn’t know any of Paddington’s adventures until I bought this book a few months ago (because I like buying children’s books when I stumble upon pretty editions). I enjoyed reading it, this was really cute.
Haven't read this since I was a small kid, but I got the urge after having seen Paddington having tea with the queen at her jubilee (I will recommend you find it on Youtube!). The book is just as cute and funny as expected. I love how polite Paddington is and his stern stares are the best thing I have ever encountered. I will recommend this for all ages. And Stephen Fry has btw narrated this and as always he did a great job!
