Description

Celebrate the 90th birthday of one of the world's 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 more than 90 years. 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.
