Ever since Paddington started working in the garden, it's been a bit quieter in the Brown household, but with a bear around, things never stay quiet for long.

About the Author:

Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don’t need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.
