These entertaining verses and delightful pictures in the style of "When We Were Very Young" take young readers back to the Hundred Acre Wood with Pooh and Christopher Robin.

Not a fan of this poetry collection. Perhaps it has too many kings and knights and less insight about the nature of children? Some extraneous Shepard illustrations of Pooh characters are shoehorned in to make it more palatable to Pooh fans, but the verse is not as lively or engaging as Milne's prose in the Pooh books.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

As 1920's poetry collections for children go, this is fairly decent... i kind of thought it was a winnie-the-pooh book but.. whatever.
Technically Pooh is in this but its barely a cameo. I'm not a fan of poetry either, or i guess because this is for kids we may have to call it nursery rhyme? Anyway its.... fine. ( )

poetry- narrative

Throughout this book of poems there are several pictures of a well-known toy bear, Winnie the Pooh. There is also mention of a bear who’s name is only sometimes Pooh, and of a Pooh who is not always a bear. And all of it looks at the world through the eyes of a small, active child normally Christopher Robin, a child between the ages of three and six whose mind is full of questions and games and make-believe.

I love the book because of the stories it shares. I don't know anyone who dislikes Winnie the Pooh. These poems have rhymes and rhythm that make the words flow, and fun to read. I think students would enjoy this book.

Epigraph
Dedication
To Anne Darlington, now she is seven and because she is so speshal.
First words
Introduction: When you are reciting poetry, which is a thing we never do, you find sometimes, just as you are beginning, that Uncle John is still telling Aunt Rose that if he can't find his spectacles he won't be able to hear properly, and does she know where they are; and by the time everybody has stopped looking for them, you are at the last verse, and in another minute they will be saying, "Thank-you, thank-you," without really knowing what it was all about.
I have a house where I go
When there's too many people...
