One day, Mr. and Mrs. Brown found Paddington, a lonely little bear, at a London railway station. It turned out he had come all the way from Deepest Peru! The Browns named the lumbering traveler Paddington after the station and took him in at their home on Windsor Garden Lane. And from that day on, a new life began for the Browns—and what a life it was! After all, Paddington hadn't crossed the ocean just to sit around with his paws folded, especially when there was so much to see and do! The little bear in the blue coat is ready to tackle any task: he'll win first prize in any competition, bake a chocolate cake, paint a landscape, and even show off his real talent on the trapeze at the circus. He also knows how to throw a great party for his friends: whether it's Christmas or a birthday, Paddington always has a couple of surprises or pranks up his sleeve. And even when things don't go his way—and they sometimes don't!—this bear never lets himself get discouraged. After all, all the adventures of the little bear from Deepest Peru always end well. And best of all—you'll never be bored with him!
