With adorable cartoon line drawings sprinkled throughout, this book of poems by the famous author of Winnie the Pooh is a treasure. The subjects of the poems include nonsense, King John, an old sailor, a little black hen, Sir Thomas Tom (the knight whose armor never squeaks), and Christopher Robin with his friends Pooh and Elizabeth Anne. The rhyme schemes vary and the poems are funny and wise. Recommended to everyone. ( Now We Are Six by A. A. Milne (7) )

These entertaining verses and delightful pictures in the style of "When We Were Very Young" take young readers back to the Hundred Acre Wood with Pooh and Christopher Robin.

Not a fan of this poetry collection. Perhaps it has too many kings and knights and less insight about the nature of children? Some extraneous Shepard illustrations of Pooh characters are shoehorned in to make it more palatable to Pooh fans, but the verse is not as lively or engaging as Milne's prose in the Pooh books.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

As 1920's poetry collections for children go, this is fairly decent... i kind of thought it was a winnie-the-pooh book but.. whatever.
Technically Pooh is in this but its barely a cameo. I'm not a fan of poetry either, or i guess because this is for kids we may have to call it nursery rhyme? Anyway its.... fine. ( Now We Are Six by A. A. Milne (26) )

First words

Introduction: When you are reciting poetry, which is a thing we never do, you find sometimes, just as you are beginning, that Uncle John is still telling Aunt Rose that if he can't find his spectacles he won't be able to hear properly, and does she know where they are; and by the time everybody has stopped looking for them, you are at the last verse, and in another minute they will be saying, "Thank-you, thank-you," without really knowing what it was all about.
