Remember
watching Winnie-the-Pooh shows either on TV or VHS tapes, (before DVDs were
invented)? I don’t know about you but I never grew up reading Winnie-the-Pooh
until middle school when a friend introduced the books! Anyways, if you have
had love Winnie-the-Pooh coming to life on your TV screen then I would suggest
you dig deeper and discover the stories that were told at The Hundred Acre
Wood.
As
it says in both books, A.A. Mile had a son named Christopher Robin, and
Christopher Robin had once owned a stuffed bear, a toy donkey, and a toy pig.
Thus his stuffed animals gave A.A. Milne the idea to turn his son’s toys into
something creative that children and adults love to read
Now, I bet you wondered where the heck I have gone
with this blog, I shall tell you, A.A. Milne wrote two Winnie-the Pooh books.
The first Winnie-the-Pooh book was titled, Winnie-the-Pooh,
(how appropriate!). The second book was titled The House At Pooh Corner. But the beauty of it all is that you
can get those two books in one collection! Did
that sound like a TV commercial? But wait there’s more! A.A. Milne not only
write Winnie-the-Pooh stories, he
also published poems. In that case, if you wanted the whole volume of
Winnie-the-Pooh stories and enjoy reading poems in the same book then you must
read, The Complete Tales & Poems of
Winnie-the-Pooh. The poems came in two parts, the first part is titled, When We Were Very Young. The second part
of the poems was called, Now We Are Six.
The poems were very random mostly. For example, some poems were about
Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh, other poems were about kings and queens,
and the rest of the poems were just plain random.
In
concluding, there was nothing different between the books, The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh and The Complete Tales & Poems of
Winnie-the-Pooh. Except, that the Complete
Tales & Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh does have poems that were written by
A.A. Milne. Overall, these books are great for adults and children to read and
be entertained by a little boy and his favorite stuffed teddy bear.
Trivial Questions:
1) What is Winnie-the-Pooh's real name?
2) What is Piglet's full name?
3) According to Owl, what is the opposite of an introduction?
4) Where does Christopher Robin go in the mornings before he visits the Hundred Acre Wood?
