What is Paddington about?

When the Brown family discover a small bear sitting alone at Paddington Station, they take him home and promise to look after him. Paddington has travelled all the way from Peru with a battered suitcase, a red hat and a love of marmalade sandwiches. Soon, his polite manners and curious nature lead to a series of comic mishaps, from disastrous baths to adventures on the Underground. Though life with Paddington is never ordinary, the Browns quickly learn that he is a very special bear.
