![]() If you happen to be unfamiliar with the story, it is about a bear from Darkest Peru who stows away on a ship headed for England. I was the one calling for reading breaks. We took Paddington in two chapters at a day. Usually we read one chapter aloud a day, except when he is really getting into a particular story and asks to read more than that. (Jonathan had.) Bookworm1 and I embarked upon this story together and, I think, we both ended up really enjoying it. It should come as no surprise on the heels of this post to learn that I had never actually read Paddington Bear. I don't know how compelled I feel to read all of them, but the first title was enjoyed to such an extent around here that I don't think anyone would be opposed to reading another. For instance, I was not aware that this is a fifteen book series. ![]() I learned things about this series of books by re-reading her post.

I found it at Library Hospital which I thought was funny. Some poking around Amazon would seem to indicate that A Bear Called Paddington is now out-of-print?! Can it be so!? Looks like you can find it via Kindle or audio book but tracking down a hard copy could prove a little harder. It is time for another Read Aloud Thursday over at Hope is the Word! Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74). ![]()
