First book started and finished in the new year and I'm quite pleased. Who doesn't love Paddington? Seriously, such a cute little fella who always means well, even if trouble sometimes seems to follow him. A great read for the whole family! (

The picture book version of this classic tale will delight children, as they learn about the lost bear from Peru, adopted by the Brown family. Paddington manages to make his usual messes, but somehow always manages to come out okay. (

A little bear arrived at Paddington Station, he was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Brown. The Browns welcomed a lost bear into their family!

Such a delightful and cute book! I can see why this book is a classic. Paddington is so cute! (

Chayah loved this book. I like that everyone is kind in the book (opposite of the angry dad in the first movies). We are off to procure marmalade. (
