My least favorite so far. I have no idea why a random book of poems is in the Pooh Collection.

Illustrated by Ernest H Shepard
This was Milne’s first book for children, originally published in 1924. He was inspired by his young son, Christopher Robin, and the verses are sometimes silly, sometimes touching, and always enjoyable. Shepard’s illustrations are a perfect accompaniment, chronicling Christopher’s interactions with shopkeepers, nanny, horses, rabbits, and one particularly stout bear.
I was particularly delighted to read this poem on a snowy March day …
DAFFODOWNDILLY
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”
I can only hope … but at least this little poem put some sunshine in my heart.
P.S. Somehow Goodreads has this work listed as “Winnie the Pooh series # 3” … yet it was the first published work, and Pooh isn’t mentioned at all – at least not by name.

Some of these poems are absolutely excellent. Others are exceptionally dated. I definitely think I liked them more than my little one. I think she was more than ready to go back to Jack Prelutsky by the end. There's history here for me, though. I still have my copy that my great grandmother bought me and I've already read this copy to my daughter once before when she was a newborn, so I'm attached.
