Customer Reviews

A little disappointed

I was a little disappointed in the condition of the cover. Some nicks and dents. Took a long time to ship.

Classic Bear

It's Paddington. What's not to love? Well, maybe the dust jacket. Kid books and dust jackets just don't mix well. Another solution is called for. But the books make story time a joy over and over.

Beautiful artwork, cute story

Paddington tries to create a garden space and SURPRISE... gets into mischief in the process. When Paddington creates disaster, he figures out a way to use it to his own good. The illustrations in these modern Paddington books are outstanding! They also give kids a glimpse into a different life... in a huge city (London) in a different country. Great for my 7 year old.

good fast service

I heartily recommend this seller. I will buy again when I find a book I want! Thanks!

Splendid illustrations create warm atmosphere!

Fred Banbery's illustrations make Paddington's Garden a treat! The original hardback edition has a warm lemon yellow cover showing Paddington's garden! The adventures that Paddington has making his garden are true to his unique personality. The illustrations bring to life the atmosphere of the Brown family home and their love for the little bear who lives with them!
