Who is Winnie the Pooh

Ranked #3,250 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #36,705 overall

I love the Winnie the Pooh series and characters.

If you've visited my lenses before, you'll know that I love teddy bears. Among my favorite of the teddy bears of the world is the ever-endearing Winnie the Pooh.  Pooh was actually "The" bear that my younger sister attached herself too.  She had a plush bear that she carried around for years, missing eyes and clothes she didn't care, it was her Pooh.  She had a large Pooh Pillow chair she used to sit on to watch TV or read a book.  I haven't outgrown Pooh myself - the picture down below is of a latch hook kit I recently completed, and which is hanging in my bedroom.

Pooh started as a simple story book - but has grown into a mass production product line as wide and varied as any of the major children literary characters ever created.  That he was created in the 1920's doesn't make him any less special, wonderful, or RIGHT in the 21st century.

Pooh lives in a tree in the Hundred Acre Woods along with several of his neighbors:  Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and her son Roo, and his boy, Christopher Robin. 

Pooh's many hobbies include honey eating, honey finding, dressing up as a storm cloud for the purposes of getting more honey, and thinking.  The music written for the early Pooh cartoons still reside in my memories, do you remember them too?

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers...." just the opening phrase brings the imagery of that bouncing tiger to mind for me, does it do the same for you?

 

Over the years, Pooh has changed a lot from the way he was drawn in the original books to the Pooh that appears in the modern cartoons. If you'd like to see the original Pooh, check out the results of this auction for an original Pooh sketch by E.H. Shephard.   Which do you prefer?  Vote in my poll, then continue scrolling down to learn more about this fluff of a bear whose catch phrase is to say "Oh Bother" when something goes wrong - and it usually does.

Four reasons to love Pooh

1) He's cute. Enough said.

2) He teaches life lessons to the youngsters that they'll take with them for the rest of their lives.

3) He and his family of characters from the Hundred Acre Woods are beloved of multiple generations, and hopefully will continue to be so for a long time to come.

4) Honey addicts have to stick together.

    Saw the new Pooh movie last week, it was entertaining but I did not like the music. Much better when Carly Simon sang the songs.
