  • The True Story of the World’S Most Famous Bear
    Finding Winnie Social Studies and Literacy Connection Listen to Mrs. Fowler read the story Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear https://youtu.be/HasNvfbSZkI Our story today talked about the real Winnie the Pooh! Below you will read some about the author of the Winnie the Pooh stories, A.A. Milne. Just for fun, here are some of my favorite A.A. Milne quotes, as told by Winnie the Pooh. A.A. Milne Alan Alexander Milne was born in 1882 and died in 1956. Milne was an English writer and was best known for his books about the teddy bear – Winnie the Pooh. Milne also served in both World Wars, having joined the British Army in World War I. A.A. Milne was born in London and went to a small school called Henley House. He then attended Westminster School and Trinity College, in Cambridge. After, Milne joined the British Army and fought in World War I. After the war Milne began writing. When his son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920 he started writing children’s stories. He came up with the idea of Winnie the Pooh in 1925. Milne named one of the main characters of the famous books after his son, Christopher Robin. Other characters in the books were named after his son’s toy animals, including the bear named Winnie the Pooh. After fighting in World War II, Milne became ill and died in January 1956, aged 74. However his stories live on! Creative Primary Literacy www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Creative-Primary-Literacy © A.A.

    Introduction .................................................................................... 2 Background and Criticism ............................................................ 5 The Books ......................................................................................12 The Movie ......................................................................................15 Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends .....................................................20 Conclusion .....................................................................................28 Works Cited ..................................................................................32 Gylfadóttir, 2 Introduction In the 1920s an English author by the name of A. A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics.

Milne and Winnie the Pooh Alan Alexander Milne (1882 – 1956) began his writing career after graduating from Cambridge University. After serving in World War I, he worked for many years as the assistant editor of the British humour magazine Punch. A successful playwright, his plays were produced in London and New York. In 1920, his wife Daphne gave birth to a son, Christopher Robin Milne. A.A. Milne’s career as a children’s author began with the publication of a collection of verses entitled When We Were Very Young, illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Christopher Robin’s favourite toy was an 18 inch-high stuffed bear purchased at Harrod’s Department store for his first birthday. Named “Edward Bear” at first, the bear was renamed “Winnie” after a black bear in the London Zoo. As a young child, Christopher Robin had quite a friendship with the bear, and visited regularly to play games and give Winnie a special treat: condensed milk.

  • The History of Winnie-The-Pooh Who Is Winnie-The-Pooh? Winnie-The-Pooh Is a Well-Loved Teddy Bear That Was Created by the Author Alan Alexander Milne – Or A
    The History of Winnie-the-Pooh Who is Winnie-the-Pooh? Winnie-the-Pooh is a well-loved teddy bear that was created by the author Alan Alexander Milne – or A. A. Milne as he is known. A. A. Milne wrote the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends for his son, Christopher Robin, after he heard Christopher inventing voices for his toys. A. A. Milne named the boy in the book Christopher Robin too! Ernest H Shepard did the beautiful illustrations for all the storybooks. In the Beginning At first, the teddy bear that Christopher had was called Edward Bear. However, during a trip to London Zoo, A. A. Milne and his family met a Canadian black bear called ‘Winnie’, who they were allowed to feed. The bear had a sweet tooth and liked condensed milk more than meat! Christopher Milne loved the bear and so Edward bear became Winnie bear. The ‘Pooh’ part of the name was then also added on – it came from a swan called ‘Pooh’ that Milne had met on holiday!

  • Winnie the Pooh Study Guide
    PLAZA THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Winnie the Pooh Study Guide Dear Teacher: We have created the following study guide to help make your students’ theater experience with Winnie the Pooh as meaningful as possible. For many, it will be their first time viewing a live theatrical production. We have learned that when teachers discuss the play with their students before and after the production, the experience is more significant and long-lasting. Our study guide provides pre- and post-performance discussion topics, as well as related activity sheets. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to create your own activities and areas for discussion. We hope you and your class enjoy the show! Background In 1926, A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin Milne. On his first birthday, Christopher received a stuffed toy he called Edward, and who was later re-named Winnie (after a black bear at the London zoo), and Pooh (after a swan, as mentioned in a poem in Milne’s When We Were Very Young.) Other characters in the story were based on Christopher’s other stuffed animals, including the donkey Eeyore, Kanga and Baby Roo, and Piglet. Owl and Rabbit were inspired by animals who lived in the forest nearby. Illustrator Ernest H. Shepard based the look of his drawings on Christopher Robin Milne and his toys. The original stuffed animals are currently on display at New York City’s Donnell Public Library. Pre-Performance Discussion 1. Read A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with your students. Much of the dialogue (and many of the songs’ lyrics) come directly from Milne’s writing, and children will enjoy hearing the familiar words and turns of phrase.
