This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne – as popular now as when they were first written.This collection is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children’s poetry, offering the same sense of humor, imagination and whimsy that we’ve come to expect from Milne's favorite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain.This book is all the more special due to E. H. Shepard’s decorations, which are shown in full, glorious color. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the man who drew Pooh’.Do you own all the classic Pooh titles?Winnie-the-PoohThe House at Pooh CornerWhen We Were Very YoungNow We Are SixReturn to the Hundred Acre WoodThe Best Bear in All the WorldOnce There Was a BearThe nation’s favorite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for over 95 years.
