Milne, A. A.

The Complete Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. This book might be more appropriately titled The Complete Poems of Christopher Robin, since Pooh Bear appears only a few times in this collection of the full texts of When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. Milne's charming verses belong on every bookshelf, but the uneven colorization of Shepard's line drawings mars this presentation--some of the dark shades nearly obliterate the fine pen marks that provide definition, movement, and character. Brief biographical sketches of Milne and Shepard are included.
