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

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!
