Winnie-the-Pooh by
A. A. Milne is a collection of stories about a boy named Christopher Robin and his friends in the 100 Acre Wood - Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eyeore, Kanga, and Roo, and Rabbit and all of his friends and relations. Each of the ten chapters tells a different story about the adventures and
misadventures of these characters. The stories are based on the author's son, for which Christopher Robin was named, and his collection of stuffed animals (see the photo on the right). Winnie the Pooh was originally named Edward! He was renamed Winnie after a black bear who escaped from a zoo in Winnipeg during WWI, and Pooh after a swan Christopher Robin had named Pooh. I read this book with my son and enjoyed the stories as much as he did! The writing is really funny, for people of any age, and the illustrations are amazing.
