The classic story of everyones favourite bear, Paddington. Now available in board book format perfect for tiny paws!
Paddington Bear first met the Brown family at a railway station Paddington Station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and a label reading Please look after this bear. Without further ado, Mr and Mrs Brown welcomed the adventurous bear into their family, and in honour of their meeting place they named him Paddington.
The Browns soon discover that Paddington is a most unusual bear, for ordinary things like having a bath become quite extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is around!
