Celebrating 100 years of one the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!
Learn the ABCs of the Hundred Acre Wood in this bright and beautiful board book. A is for apple, B is for Balloon, H is for Honey, and P is for Piglet in this entertaining board book to teach the littlest of Pooh fans that spelling can be just as fun as it is wobbly. With pastel shades and original Shepard art, this is the perfect gift to introduce young readers to a very special bear.
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) was born in England. He studied at Cambridge but left school in 1903 to write, soon supporting himself on his earnings as an editor at Punch magazine and as a playwright. His son Christopher Robin Milne was born in 1920. Christopher's toy bear, pig, donkey, tiger, and kangaroo inspired the famous Pooh books. Milne also wrote plays, a novel, his autobiography, and political nonfiction, although he is best remembered for Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six.View titles by A.

Ernest H. Shepard (1879-1976) was born in England. Shepard won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools, and, after graduating, supported himself by drawing for illustrated papers and books. He became a regular contributor to Punch magazine, where he met A. A. Milne. While working together, Shepard agreed to do the illustrations for Milne's first book of verse, When We Were Very Young. Shepard’s witty and loving illustrations of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have become an inseparable part of the Pooh stories, and they have become classics in their own right.
