The big adventure - Jane Riordan

'When Christopher Robin woke up that morning he knew at once that it was a day for big boots and Adventure.'

Little hands will love to lift the flaps and help Christopher Robin find his friends in this exciting new novelty book. Join Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, Owl, Kanga and Roo, as they discover that the best adventures are found with friends.

Milne's classic children's stories - featuring Piglet, Eeyore and, of course, Pooh himself - are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and reflecting the power of a child's imagination like no other story before or since.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.

Based on the 'Winnie-the-Pooh' stories by A.A.Milne decorated by E.H.Shepard. A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and later became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne's stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.

E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was a cartoonist and artist, and went on to draw the original decorations to accompany Milne's classic stories, earning him the name 'the man who drew Pooh'.

'Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.', Stylist magazine
