A Bear Called Paddington begins with a little curious bear shocking the Browns at a railway station!
“A bear on Paddington Station?” said Mrs Brown in amazement. “Don’t be silly – there can’t be.”
The Browns first met this little character on a railway station – Paddington station, in fact. He had traveled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat.
The Browns soon find that this little guy is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things – like having a bath, traveling underground or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary, if this little guy is involved.
Since then, their lives have never been quite the same!
