Now We Are Six
by A.A. Milne (Author) E.H. Shepard (Illustrator)
'Now We Are Six' is a classic book of children's verses, including some about A.A. Milne's best-loved characters Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh and others in a more general nonsense vein. The title comes from the final poem of the book, but the author wanted us to know that "...the name of the book doesn't mean that this is us being six all the time, but that it is about as far as we've got at present, and we half think of stopping there...". As with the other Winnie-the-Pooh stories, themes of friendship and happiness are abundant, facilitating thoughtful discussion between parents and children. Many printed editions of this book are illustrated with Ernest H. Shepard's familiar artwork, including a few drawings into which Winnie-the-Pooh has wandered 'by accident'.
