A timeless classic that introduced the world to a small bear from Peru.
When the Brown family discovers a polite bear at Paddington Station — wearing a red hat and holding a suitcase labeled “Wanted on Voyage” — their lives are changed forever. With his love of marmalade sandwiches and his earnest attempts to understand English customs, Paddington brings gentle chaos, humor, and warmth wherever he goes.
Written by Michael Bond and charmingly illustrated by R.W. Alley, this beautifully presented edition is perfect for reading aloud or for young independent readers stepping into chapter books.
A cozy addition to any family library and a wonderful introduction to one of Britain’s most beloved literary characters.
