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?

Great for on the drive, falling asleep to, or in quiet restful moments with the little ones.

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!

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!

I am 75 now and a great grandmother. I have read Paddington to my children and grandchildren. Third generation to come.
I missed the old boy so I listened today as I did my chores. He did not
disappoint.
Looking forward to sharing this lovely “Brown” bear again, with little ones who will find him, as endearing as I do.
Good job, folks.
