Ernest H. Shepard Libri

In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the very beginning. His often befuddled perceptions and adorable insights won the hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends. From the energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch, both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of life. Remember when Piglet did a very grand thing, or Eeyore's almost-forgotten birthday? Gorgeous watercolor illustrations from Ernest H. Shepard appear in all their glory. With beautiful colors and simple lines, these images hold their own as classics. The tales, filled with superb story lines and lessons, will continue to capture the hearts of new generations.

For over seventy years, children and adults have been charmed by the wit and whimsy of Winnie-the-Pooh. Whether he's using a balloon to get honey from some bees, discovering the North Pole, or trying to find breakfast for Tigger, the Bear of Little Brain always succeeds in endearing himself to his many fans.

A delightful book about time with a clock with moveable hands to help a child learn to tell the time.

Inglese, commediografo, Milne iniziò la sua carriera di scrittore per ragazzi pubblicando una raccolta di poesie dedicate a suo figlio Christopher Robin. Incoraggiato dal successo riportato, Milne decise di mettere per iscritto anche le storie di Winnie Puh, con le quali aveva allietato l'infanzia del figlio. In particolare "La strada di Puh" è stato pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1920.

L'Orso Puh e i suoi amici non hanno Cervello nella testa, ma solo peluria grigia, il che farebbe pensare che siano soltanto dei giocattoli. Eppure sono capaci di vivere Memorabili Avventure, come catturare quasi un Guzzo, incontrare un Effalumpo, perdere la coda e ritrovarla, compiere gli anni e ricevere due regali, scoprire il Palo Nord, restare completamente circondati dalle acque e infine andare tutti alla festa di Christopher Robin. Allora, forse, sono anche qualcosa in più che semplici pupazzi. Bisognerebbe chiederlo a Christopher Robin; il guaio è che lui, certe volte, quando cerca di ricordarselo, se lo dimentica. Ma forse, invece, basta chiederlo ai milioni di bambini che hanno letto questo grande Classico in tutto il mondo.

Blackstone Audio presents, from the unabridged collection “A.A. Milne’s Pooh Classics,” the forty-four poems from When We Were Very Young and the thirty-five poems of Now We Are Six, performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these delightful verses authorized by A.A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin. The first of A.A. Milne’s four world-famous books for children, When We Were Very Young introduced Christopher Robin to innumerable friends and has probably been read more widely than any other book of verse for children published in our time. Now We Are Six followed, becoming a modern classic in its own right. For sheer delightfulness, the children’s rhymes of A.A. Milne are in a class by themselves with their charm, humor, understanding, and irresistible rhythms.

One blusterous Day, Pooh and Piglet decide to visit everybody. After seeing Kanga, Rabbit and Eeyore, they hurry on to have a proper tea with Owl. At Owl's house they hear a loud cracking noise. The room tilts slowly upwards until Owl's letterbox is in the ceiling. Can Piglet do a very grand thing to save them all?
