A Small Bear of Great Importance


It is more fun to talk with someone
who doesn't use long, difficult words
but rather short easy words like,
"What about lunch?"

Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing,
of just going along, listening to all the things
you can't hear and not bothering.

Winnie The Pooh Quotes

Did you know that many of A.A. Milne's first children's poems and stories were printed for adults rather than children? A. A. Milne wrote for a publication called Punch. In 1925 on Christmas Eve he wrote his first Pooh story. Today marks the anniversary of the book Winnie-The- Pooh first published in 1926. I posted a picture of a vintage book.
