A bear? repeated Mrs. Brown. In Paddington Station? Do not be silly, Henry. There cannot be!

This is such a cute story with a cute bear that we just adore.

This hardcover edition is written by Michael Bond and illustrated by R.W. Alley. Nearly fifty years ago, a small bear from Darkest Peru set out on an adventure of a lifetime. With nothing but a suitcase and several jars of marmalade and a label around his neck that read, Please Look After This Bear, he stowed away on a ship headed for faraway England.

When the little bear arrived at Paddington Station in busy London, he was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Brown. As luck would have it, the Browns were just the sort of people to welcome a lost bear into their family.
