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. 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.
Which do you like best?

Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh Bear and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in the children's books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children's poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.
The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Bestseller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.
Alan Alexander Milne () (January 18, 1882 - January 31, 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.

My daughter had a Pooh Bear when she was little(still has it after 30 years). She wore out his little vest, so I had to make a new felt one for him. Posted April 27, 2008 |
