In all likelihood, your
mother or father read you these poems and remember their parents
reading the same. This collection of poetry by the creator of Winnie the
Pooh was first published in 1924. With its companion volume Now We Are Six,
the little books became two of the biggest bestsellers in publishing
history. Children all over the world have heard about changing the
guard at Buckingham Palace; James James Morrison Morrison Weather by
George Dupree; the three little foxes who kept their handkerchiefs in
cardboard boxes; and, of course, Christopher Robin, named for A.A.
Milne's son. Adults and older children will enjoy Milne's poems too, as
some of his humor is subtly directed at a more sophisticated audience.
But younger children are the ones who love the naughty Mary Jane
(lovely rice pudding again?) and the bears on the corners of London's
streets. Read these poems aloud and pass along (or start) a family
tradition. (Ages 5 to 9) From Goodreads. I needed to read poetry for a challenge, I am not interested in poetry. This is why I chose this Winnie The Pooh poetry and it was cute, as I had hoped.
