About the book
With a gorgeously redesigned cover and the original black and white interior illustrations by Ernest Shepard, this beautiful edition of the beloved classic poetry collection When We Were Very Young by A. A. Milne is sure to delight new and old fans alike!
Before there was Winnie-the-Pooh, there was Mr. Edward Bear, a rotund teddy bear who was proud of his stature. Meet him and many other lovable characters in this verse collection that launched A. A. Milne’s career as a children’s author and led to the creation of his novels about Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin.
Full of whimsy, humor, and imagination, these children’s poems tell of visits to the zoo and Buckingham Palace, the romance between Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue, the shenanigans of peculiar characters, quiet afternoons in nature, and more.

4.5Charming poetry to escape life for a bit or look back
Reading poetry in book form front-to-back isn't really something I enjoy, but you can pace it rather easily. The poems range from hilarious to silly, and there are even some weirder/nonsensical ones sprinkled in. Only one poem refers to a bear, but that one turns out to be the most hilarious of them all. At the end of the day, the poems are a window into the walks A.A. Milne took with Christopher Robin and offer an insight into themes of growing up, playing, deep thoughts, and general childish fun. Enjoying it at a slower pace and thinking about ones own experiences as a child gives you a great reading journey.
