Our little one enjoyed this book greatly while we travelled. It passed the time in the car and gave us opportunity to practice our British accents and story telling abilities when it had finished. I wasn't sure she was ready for an audible book at age four but am glad I gave it a try. This book does not have any language or schemes that one wouldn't want a young child exposed to. Highly recommend.

Excellent for children on a long journey

What did you love best about A Bear Called Paddington?

A great and relaxing listen

This brings back many luscious experiences and wonderments of childhood.The story is absolutely delightful as Mr. Bond writes as if he remembers just like what it is to be a child . Loved the many instances when Paddington had his self esteem challenged. Because of his high regard for himself he always manages to come out on top! Read by a Master Storyteller.

Thank You, Mr Fry for a superlative reading!

Very enjoyable performance and story. I only wish the chapters were properly divided. Looking forward to the next one!

Great performance of a classic

I am 77 but so love this book as narrated by Stephen Fry. Maybe I am an old man of very little brains, but this is not just a children's book!

Hilarious

Well, I'm a Stephen Fry fan but my wife isn't. That was until this. Such an excellent job by Mr. Fry. Perfect. And the stories? Well, they're second to none. I wish I had been the one to first spot this bear~ My son, only six months old, has several audio books to accompany him in the afternoon, Paddington seems to be his favorite. I'll let you know when he actually begins speaking!!

Well, I'm a Stephen Fry fan but my wife isn't.

The Paddington books are absolute treasures. They are positive and joyful. Add Stephen Fry as the reader and you've got a really wonderful experience. I've gotten this one and More About Paddington. I will get others.

Stephen Fry is excellent
