Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear by Lindsay Mattick
3.0
I don't usually read children's picture books (I outgrew that demographic years ago), but all of my coworkers at the library have been raving about this book, which is the true story of the bear that inspired Winnie The Pooh.
This book is insane--and in a cool way. My favorite part is that Winnie the Bear got to ride around Canada and even ship overseas with the Canadian army during WWI and everybody in the chain of command was completely cool with that decision. I would definitely read a book about the story intended for adult readers.
There's also apparently some obscure movie about this story from about a decade ago starring a then-unknown Michael Fassbender. As much as I love Fassbender, I don't know how I didn't know that existed.
