      Hugh Bonneville's wholehearted narration begins with when a local official arrives to summon the beloved, good-natured Paddington Bear to school. Paddington, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Bird, the housekeeper, scramble to get Paddington ready. Bonneville jumps into these roles with gusto. Paddington's adventures include his first and only day at school, waterskiing, the purchase of an inflatable boat, and a visit to court to mention a few. In each story, characters sparkle with personality. Bonneville employs his inestimable skills--intonation and pacing, accent and intensity, and love of story. Paddington's opinionated Aunt Lucy, from Peru; the short-fused codger living next door; and the warmhearted bookstore owner, for example, come fully to life. A.R.

      In these reissues, the amiable bear from "Darkest Peru" is as endearing as ever. The old-fashioned, episodic stories work well as family read-alouds; each chapter is a complete adventure. The humor is broad, and Fortnum's loose ink sketches place Paddington smack in the middle of every mess.
