If you're a fan of Winnie the Pooh, you have to give Paddington a try. He's delightful, as are the Browns, and this book is a treat for the whole family. Highly recommend!My Rating: 5 stars

I'm really enjoying this series (read by Hugh Bonneville) and the escapade's Paddington always gets into. Definitely recommend this series to younger audiences who want to follow the adventures of a bear who comes from Peru and now lives with the Brown Family in Winter Gardens in London.2nd time readingThis cheered me up when I needed it!

Another great collection of Paddington’s adventures. He’s so funny and especially when he takes things literally and gets himself into trouble. The garden and Mr Gruber’s outing two classic examples of this. If ever you feel down reading Paddington lifts your spirits.

Paddington means an awful lot to me and this set of stories is no different. As well as being incredibly charming, set in a time when things seemed gentler definitely, it's Paddington's eternal optimism that always shines through in the books. He's as naive as a child but as sophisticated as an adult Michael Bond once wrote and I think it's not only good for him but a great lesson for all of us wishing to live a little simpler.

"Paddington At Large" is Michael Bond's fifth collection of stories about Paddington the bear, who was discovered by the Brown family in London's Paddington Station and became a member of their family. This anthology is less cohesive than the last two; its stories are only loosely connected, but all involve the antics of the talking bear and the trouble he gets into and out of while trying to do good.Of the seven tales contained herein, my favourite was "Paddington Hits the Jackpot" in which the young bear appears on a television game show and outsmarts the host by explaining why each of his answers is correct, despite what is written on the host's card.In other stories, Paddington has a disastrous time mowing the lawn of his mean neighbor Mr. Curry; At a concert in the park, Paddington is annoyed to learn that one of the symphonies is "unfinished"Paddington confronts a repairman in the Brown homeA recipe for toffee proves too much for a young bear to handlePaddington causes chaos in a department storeA local playwright recruits Paddington for his stage production in which the bear saves the dayEach story is short and each one made me smile.
