When We Were Very Young
by A.A. Milne (Author) E.H. Shepard (Illustrator)
This collection of delightful children's poems introduces the beloved bear Winnie-the-Pooh. Originally written for Milne's own son, children the world over have no doubt heard about the kind and simple bear who spends his time enjoying honey and counseling friends. Adults and older children will enjoy Milne's poems too, as some of his humour is subtly directed at a more sophisticated audience. But younger children are the ones who love the naughty Mary Jane (lovely rice pudding again?) and the bears on the corners of London's streets. Read these poems aloud and pass along (or begin) a family tradition.
