Nice collection of Paddington stories. 5 out of 5 stars.

You can tell some of the stories are missing from this collection, but it is a great price, for a large collection of some of my favorite childhood stories.

Sincerely,

Editorial Review:

This treasury marks Paddington's 40th year in America, with a comprehensive collection of Sir Michael Bond's beloved stories. Peggy Fortnum's line drawings have been watercolored by her step-granddaughter Caroline Nuttall-Smith, who was not yet born when the books were first published. Since the Browns first discovered him at London's Paddington Station wearing a tag that read "Please look after this bear," Paddington's popularity has grown and his books have sold 25 million copies worldwide in 22 languages. The enduring appeal of this small bear from Darkest Peru ensures that he will be discovered by generations to come. Those well versed in Paddington's antics know that he does tend to make ordinary occasions more exciting. While readers of all ages may laugh as he bumbles from one near disaster to another, it is always a relief to find a happy ending.

A classic children's story! 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved the Paddington series as a kid, and I have begun to buy this story as a baby gift for friends. Paddington's antics are endearing and the pictures in this story are really well done.

Always Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars.

Paddington Bear is always appealing ... but so much more character with R.W. Alley's illustrations. He brings life, charm and personality to Paddington! Great for fun; awesome baby AND birthday / holiday / love you gifts for growing children / adults. Everyone wants to have the whole wonderful collection. Who wouldn't?!

Editorial Review:

Nearly fifty years ago, a small bear from Darkest Peru set out on an adventure of a lifetime. With nothing but a suitcase, several jars of marmalade, and a label around his neck that read, "Please Look After This Bear," he stowed away on a ship headed for faraway England. When the little bear arrived at London's busy Paddington Station, he was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Brown. As luck would have it, the Browns were just the sort of people to welcome a lost bear into their family.

Paddington Bear has charmed readers worldwide with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This reissue of the classic story, with new artwork by original artist R. W. Alley, will surely let a whole new generation of children find a home in their hearts for this lovable lost bear.

TERRIFIC 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Terrific as usual! There's nothing like books illustrated by RW Alley!! Highly recommended, though I hadn't realized that this book is a "chapter book" for kids. Wonderful, none-the-less!

Editorial Review:

Since the Browns found Paddington on a railway platform and took him home to live with them, there has never been a dull moment at number 32 Windsor Gardens. But as he explained to them at the start, "Things happen to me: I'm that sort of a bear."

There's the day his basket on wheels mysteriously disappears when he's out shopping in the market. And the time he locks the Browns' grouchy old neighbor, Mr. Curry, out of his house on Halloween night.

However, everyone in the family, including Paddington, agrees that a surprise visit from a long-lost relative is the start of his most exciting adventure ever.

For the first time in almost thirty years, everyone's favorite bear from Darkest Peru is starring in a brand-new novel—just in time for the fiftieth anniversary of his first adventure, A Bear Called Paddington.

Will greatly appeal to modern generations 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The appearance of this classic in solid hardcover reissue format will delight librarians whose collection holdings include aging titles: the bright cover enhances this new edition Paddington Goes To Town, and will greatly appeal to modern generations and will introduce them to the exploits of a small bear who journeys from 'darkest Peru' to join the Brown family in a series of zany events.

Editorial Review:

If a boulder rolls down the aisle of a bus, sending the entire carload careening; if a visitor to the hospital leaves even the staff psychiatrist baffled; or if a hostess discovers her surprise dessert is "baked elastic," you can be sure that Paddington is somewhere close at hand. Still wearing his floppy old hat, he causes trouble wherever he goes. Even a wedding is hardly traditional with Paddington in attendance. Paddington fans will be delighted once more as their favorite bear turns things merrily, unpredictably topsy-turvy in this revised edition of Paddington Goes to Town.

I liked this book 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I liked this book because it was funny, surprising, and happy. I liked it when Paddington fell into the river because it was funny. I recommend this book for ages 6-9. If you can, try to read the whole Paddington series.

Editorial Review:

That bear is back again, and in this new edition of Paddington Helps Out, his attraction for near disaster is as magnetic as ever. Who but Paddington would set out to cook dumplings only to find himself chased from the kitchen by something so nasty only his resourceful friend Mr. Gruber can rescue him? And who else could get away with sawing his neighbor"s kitchen table in two or flooding the launderette? These and other riotous adventures all find their way into Paddington"s scrapbook and make for another delightful book starring this beloved bear from Darkest Peru.

Editorial Review:

There is nothing that Paddington Bear loves better than living with the Browns...except maybe marmalade! But now Mr. and Mrs. Brown have given him something else to love at number thirty-two Windsor Gardens -- his very own garden. Paddington sets to work in an attempt to create the most interesting garden he can. In typical Paddington style, hapless mischief leads to blind luck, and his garden turns out to be a most unique site indeed!

Paddington Bear has charmed readers for more than forty years. Now another generation of fans can Join the beloved bear from Darkest Peru on a variety of adventures written by Michael Bond and illustrated by artist R. W. Alley

Wonderfully entertaining ... for both the kids and you! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

We LOVE this CD set! I bought it 2 years ago for my daughter to listen to for naps and bedtime, and now at age 5 she's STILL asking for it every night.

I like the fact that both CDs are over an hour long, she likes that there are several stories on each CD to keep her attention. The plots aren't too complicated for her to follow, but they do force her to pay attention and focus on the cd, which is key for naptime. :) Stephen Fry's voice is wonderfully soothing to listen to, and he does a great job of distinguishing between the various characters -- key for books on CD!

As she's gotten older Caroline has begun to appreciate some of the silliness that is Paddington, but the stories are nicely entertaining even without that element. We parents don't mind listening to Paddington in the car when we're on trips. All in all, I say this CD set is well worth this money, it's one that will really grow with you!!

Editorial Review:

Paddington Bear had traveled all the way from Darkest Peru when the Brown family first met him on Paddington Station. Since then their lives have never been quite the same ... for ordinary things become quite extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is involved.

I am a 21-year-old college student, and I gave the book 3-stars due to it being hard for me to follow. On the other hand, Paddington's shinanigans were pretty funny.

Editorial Review:

There"ll always be an England, but the old place has never been quite the same since the Brown children came across a small lost bear in London"s Paddington Station. Whether tinkering with the neighbor"s lawn mower or experimenting in the kitchen, Paddington has a knack for finding trouble.

In this new edition of Paddington at Large, the well-meaning bear with a talent for trouble continues to fill the lives of the Brown family with unexpected adventures that will delight the multitude of Paddington fans.

Paddington Bear at the Circus 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The circus has come to town. The Browns, including Paddington have come to see the show. With Paddington, however, everything is an adventure. This book will be a favorite of all those who read this hilarious book. The colorful and actionful story will have you laughing and smiling for hours. This is one of the best Paddington Books written.

Editorial Review:

The circus has come to town! Paddington Bear and the Browns have front-row seats, and they can't wait to see the show. Inside the circus tent there's a ringmaster with a top hat, a very, very tall clown, a band ... and a funny-looking man hanging from a rope above Paddington's head. Always willing to lend a paw, Paddington rushes off to save the trapeze artist. The circus is turned upside-down, but the show must go on - and it does, thanks to a surprise performance by Paddington Bear.

Paddington Bear has charmed readers for nearly forty years. Now another generation of fans can join the beloved bear from Darkest Peru on a variety of adventrues written by Michael Bond and beautifully illustrated by artist R.W. Alley.

Absolutely Wonderful! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My 5 year old listens to this over and over again. Stephen Fry does a fantastic job narrating, giving just the right voice inflection and capturing the spirit of the characters beautifully. A family favorite!

Wonderful story beautifully narrated! 5 out of 5 stars.

All the Paddington books are such great stories for children (and adults!), and this is no exception! Stephen Fry is an excellent narrator. This book is great for story time with your children, or to while away the long hours of a road trip!

Editorial Review:

"Bears like Paddington are very rare," says Mrs. Bird, "and a good thing too, or it would cost us a small fortune in marmalade."

It's a good thing for lots of reasons that bears like Paddington are rare. Whether it is his attempts at home decorating, detective work or photography, the bear from Darkest Peru causes his own special brand of chaos.
