A Bear Called Paddington CD by Michael Bond

3.0

---

I was really distracted while listening to this and could barely find the motivation to turn it on. It's a little English bear that wears clothing, what's not to like. It was sweet but I may have to watch the movies to be more invested in his story. Maybe because I am tragically American and don't have the nostalgia of perhaps growing up with it in England. Perhaps he is the Corduroy equivalent of bear shenanigans. It was cute but I just wasn't vibing. That's more on me than on the book. I just wasn't in the right head space considering our current hellscape. I won't continue on with the series but I did enjoy the jaunty music and relaxing Stephen Fry narration. Tatty bye!
