description: Mr. and Mrs. Brown first meet Paddington--a most endearing bear from Darkest Peru--on a railway platform in London. He is sitting on a battered suitcase, wearing a most odd-looking hat and sign hanging around his neck that says, “Please look after this bear.” So that is just what they do, little knowing that their lives will never be the same.Paddington's good intentions are equaled only by his absolute talent for getting into trouble, and readers of all ages will welcome him into their homes as happily as Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
