When We Were Very Young (Winnie-the-Pooh)

Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!

A classic celebration of childhood, A. A. Milne’s When We Were Very Young is a collection of poems that have touched the hearts of readers for a century. His verses sing with a playful innocence, weaving together the worlds of reality and enchanting make-believe. Published two years before Winnie-the-Pooh, careful readers will also discover the very first appearance of the Best Bear in All the World. These treasured poems are perfectly matched by Ernest Shepard's whimsical illustrations, which have delighted countless readers.

These poems have been read and re-read to generations of children, and today, they can still find a cherished place on every bookshelf.

Cute but fairly pointless poems for children. They're charming but not funny or particularly interesting for either children or adults. There weren’t even any Pooh-related characters. The only thing to really recommend it is the rhythm and rhyme.
