"They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace – Christopher Robin went down with Alice."
Curl up with A. A. Milne’s classic book of poetry for children, When We Were Very Young. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne—as popular now as when they were first written. Featuring E. H. Shepard’s original decorations, 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. Milne’s classic children’s stories—featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself—are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and reflecting the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.
