My nearly six year old read this in three days. She has had all AA Milne's books read to her, and is very familiar with Mallick's picture book Finding Winnie. She said she "loved it" and it was her favorite book. I haven't read it yet myself, but those are the thoughts of a young reader!

I loved this book!! The way it's written gives you a very personal feel for the kind and lovable Winnie the Pooh :) I felt choked up at multiple times knowing that some aspects of this story come from real events in the war, making it extra feelzy! Would recommend to any age

Fun to know the history of Winnie the Pooh’s

to NPR for having the highlights of this book. Having lived in Montana, I have a special love for bears.

GOOD STORY

This is a gem of a book. Poignant and refreshing, this book tells the story behind the story of Winnie-the-Pooh. It is actually the story of the real bear that inspired A.A. Milne’s beloved book and it starts in a forest in Canada at the turn of the century. The book has a very interesting point-of-view. Though told from the bear’s perspective, the story has a narrator who is the great grandson of an army captain who befriended and named the bear before A.A. Milne and his son, Christopher Robin, ever met her. Based on actual historical records, including diary entries and photos, Captain Harry Colebourn purchased the bear and named her Winnipeg (Winnie for short) after his home city in Canada. Winnie accompanied Harry’s regiment until the very moment that the soldiers left for the frontlines. The tone of the story reminds me of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. It is simple, yet carries a huge emotional impact. There are cut-outs where the man who is telling the story (to his young son), speaks directly to that son. Rather than pull the reader from the story, these clever sidebars serve to offer deeper explanations or answer questions. The style of the book is very much like the cherished original Winnie-the-Pooh stories. Adding to the interest of the story is the underlying threat of war. While Winnie and Harry’s friendship blossoms, the impending war looms closer and closer. In addition to the overall emotive impact of the story, there are some real jewels. One passage that I bookmarked is when the young boy whose father is narrating the story asks if a rat and some horses can understand each other (Winnie is able to understand and converse with a number of animals, including humans such as Harry and the other soldiers). The young boy asks, “Could Tatters and the horses understand what one another were saying?” His father answers, “No. Because if you’re not listening, it’s impossible to hear. If you believe that somebody is so different from you that you can’t possibly have anything in common, you’ll never be able to hear them no matter what they say.” Overall, this is a fascinating book—and one that will resonate long after you put it down.

Unlike other reviewers so far, I did not find this children's book particularly winsome. The combination of fantasy and reality didn't quite work, in my opinion. Also, I imagined it was the mother telling the child the story, not the father, as other reviewers have stated. (Is there something I missed that reveals the storyteller is the father?) The story starts off sweet enough with Winnie, a baby girl bear, living in the Canadian woods with her mother. Winnie has the ability to talk to all animals, not just other bears, which makes her extra special. Her sweet world is soon shattered, though, just like Bambi's, when her mother is killed. Only, her mother is first caught in a horrid leg trap, before she is shot to death by a trapper.Rescued by the trapper's grandson and sold by the trapper to a Canadian veterinarian soldier, heading off to take care of the horses to be used in World War I, Winnie's new life begins outside of the woods. She has lots of adventures, including on the SS Manitou, where she talks to horses and a rat named Tatter. It's always good to see a rat not vilified, but the idea that Winnie brokers an agreement between the rats and the horses, where the horses won't stomp on the rats if the rats stay out of their feed, was a bit too fanciful. If the rats agree not to eat the horse feed, so the horses don't get sick by their droppings, then the rats will have to eat only the food intended for humans, which may very well make the humans sick. Right? There's no natural type of food for rats on a ship.Yes, I know this is suppose to be like a fairy tale, but it also includes historical facts and incidents that aren't the least bit charming. How can you truly enjoy the adventures of such a sweet, silly bear when reality keeps intruding, with threats of death, bombings and war? Of course the story is not only suppose to demonstrate courage and caring, but that everyone needs to do their bit during wartime. Winnie ends up doing hers in the London Zoo, where she entertains countless children and adults, taking their minds off their wartime worries. When Christopher Robin Milne comes to the zoo with his father, it's probably expected that the reader will have all sorts of warm, fuzzy feelings, as well as wonderful thoughts of Winnie-the-Pooh stories. Only, all I could think of was Goodbye Christopher Robin, a depressing, badly cast movie that I had recently seen and wish I hadn't. Sigh . . . maybe I should just stay away from all new Pooh Bear things.
