This was my first time reading this, and my six-year-old and I both loved it. I had read different storybook versions to the kids, but this was my first time with the novel. As soon as we finished, my son immediately asked to start the next one.

Noah: I like that they go to the beach and the seaside. My car in the races that we do is named Seaside too. I like at the end when he does disappearing tricks and when Mr. Curry sat on the egg.

William: This book is a laugh-a-thon......................................................................................................

Jolly good! Paddington is adorable.

Thanks Khonie for letting me borrow!

Paddington is a bear from Darkest Peru..Paddington being his English name..To know his real one, you would have to ask him yourself..But try not to offend this bear..cute as he seems, he is perfectly adept at wearing one down with his persistent stare.. *shivers* (I feel as if someone's looking at me right now)

Anyway, the book tells of how he ends up at a train station in London and is taken in by a British family..He is quite attached to his possessions and seldom leaves his suitcase behind..Extremely fond of marmalade or anything in that flavour, he is actually very friendly and polite..His curiosity often lands him in pickle..But thanks to his strong sense of right and wrong, he is quick to clear the misunderstanding,

“I'm not a criminal,” said Paddington, hotly. “I'm a bear!”

Each chapter is an account of his adventures and unintended mishaps..which he just can't help getting himself into..And he gives the reason himself,

"Things are always happening to me. I’m that sort of bear."

This book is about a bear, who is law unto himself..He is hilarious without meaning to be and he is adorable in his steadfastness..A bear story worthy of being on every child's bookshelf!! :D

oh my heart this was SO sweet!!

Wonderfully quiant, slightly stressful for someone like myself who likes order and logic but its so heartwarming how can you not like it
