I found A Bear Called Paddington, by Michael Bond, to be a short but charming little story. Paddington gets his name because Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who adopted him, found him at Paddington Station. The Browns do not know what they're getting themselves into when they decide to take the poor, homeless bear home. Paddington wastes no time in making a mess by spreading jam from his sticky bun all over the house. When he tries to bathe, he almost drowns himself because he does not think to pull the plug in the bathtub. Despite all the trouble he causes, he is soon accepted as a permanent part of the family. I certainly would not mind reading more about this endearing little bear.
