The story of Winnipeg the Bear who becomes Winnie the Pooh. This story has a lot of words for a Caldecott Winner, but it doesn't feel long. It tells the story of the bear as a family story passed down from parent to child along with diaries and photographs. But it still feels like a bedtime story. And works on so many levels - as an intro to author's as people, and ancestors as people and as a connection between fiction and non-fiction. With good enough art but well executed text.

*sniff* No YOU Have something in your eye. This is a charming story. I thought it might be too much text but I think it could be a great read-a-loud for older kids. It might also be fun for a fiction vs. non-fiction program. Much to recommend here.

Fascinating story behind Winnie-the-Pooh. Lots of text on the pages-- didn't hold toddler's attention very well. Better for slightly older kids.
