Winnie the Pooh
If you have not had the opportunity to read Winnie the Pooh by the original author, A.A. Milne, you are missing out on a great treasure. We are all familiar with the bear of very little brain whom we have seen on TV and in colorful story books, but this is just a snippet of the character that was created by the very gifted author, A.A. Milne. His son was the real Christopher Robin and his work has survived for more than half a century already. You can start with Winnie the Pooh which is the first book that was written.
If you are familiar with the stories of Winnie the Pooh you will recognize where they were excerpted from when you read the original. I read Winnie the Pooh aloud to my 6 children recently, the oldest at the time was 13 and the youngest 1. The children gathered around and laughed at Pooh's silly poems and songs and the predicaments that the gang from the Hundred Acre Wood would get involved it. If you like to read and do not read the Pooh books by the original author you are really missing out on a real treat.
