Winnie The Pooh

When Harry Colebourn spotted a baby bear for sale at the train station, he knew he could take care of it. As both a veterinarian and a soldier in training for World War I, Harry named the bear Winnie, after his company's home town of Winnipeg. Everywhere Harry went, Winnie followed, and she even slept under his cot every night. She quickly became the beloved mascot of their regiment, but what would happen to the bear when Harry had to leave for the battlefield in France?

Luckily, he found the perfect home for Winnie at the London Zoo. There, a young boy named Christopher Robin took a liking to her and was more than happy to care for this lovable bear. In Sally Walker's heartwarming tale, accompanied by Jonathan Voss's expressive illustrations, the true story of the bear who inspired Winnie the Pooh comes to life.
