A very small bear found by Mr. and Mrs. Brown at Paddington Station becomes one of the family.

A collection of six tales featuring the bear from Peru, including "Paddington at the Zoo," in which Paddington's marmalade sandwiches prove to be irresistable to the zoo animals.

Paddington introduces the concept of antonyms when he basks in the sun and shivers in the cold, faces front and back, and opens and closes a box filled with marmalade jars.

"Paddington, now happily settled with the Brown family and a popular member of the local community, picks up a series of odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, only for the gift to be stolen." -- Some action and mild rude humor.
