Paddington in the Garden (Read Aloud): AudioSync edition

By Michael Bond, Read by Paul Vaughan, Illustrated by R. W. Alley

A funny picture book about Paddington, the beloved, classic bear from darkest Peru – soon to be a major movie star!

For Paddington, one of the nicest things about being a bear and living with the Brown family is being able to share their lovely garden. And though he may not have “green fingers”, the fact that paws and marmalade are never far apart leads to some unexpectedly colourful results during National Garden Week!
