Three Cheers For Pooh

This is the story of how Winnie-the-Pooh came to be the nation's favourite teddy bear.

Winnie-the-Pooh is one of the best-loved children's characters of all time. But how did he become so popular? In this beautifull book, author Brian Sibley tells the story of Pooh's origins and how he came to be the Bear for All Ages. Illustrated with many rare photographs, drawings and sketches, this book is the complete guide to Winnie-the-Pooh and his creators, A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard.

This book really is something quite special. The nations favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for over 95 years. Milnes classic childrens stories featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether youre 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
