FACT SHEET Remembering Winnie
FACT SHEET Remembering Winnie - The World’s Most Famous Bear turns 100 ● On August 24, 1914, a Canadian soldier and veterinarian named (Captain) Harry Colebourn made a pit stop at the train station in White River, Ontario where he bought a bear cub and named her ‘Winnie’ after his hometown of Winnipeg. ● The real Winnie was a female American black bear. ● Winnie the bear cub was purchased for $20. According to inflation, that would be $466 in today’s money. ● Winnie traveled overseas with Colebourn’s regiment, becoming a proud mascot for the Second Canadian Infantry Brigade and beloved friend to the other soldiers. ● Female American black bears weigh an average of 150 lbs. fully grown. ● When he was deployed to France in December 1919, Colebourn loaned Winnie to the London Zoo. Colebourn later donated Winnie to the Zoo after the war was over. ● Winnie the bear died in 1934 and was 20 years old. The average age for an American Black bear in the wild is 18 years old. ● The real bear Winnie became the inspiration for author A.A.Milne’s character Winnie-the-Pooh after his son, Christopher Robin, renamed his teddy bear “Winnie”. ● Milne’s fictional Winnie-the-Pooh made his literary debut on Christmas Eve 1925 in the children’s Christmas story The Wrong Sort of Bees, commissioned by the London Newspaper The Evening News and then in the collection of children’s stories published in 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh. ● The four Pooh books are When We Were Very Young, Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner.

Depicting the life and events that of Winnipeg the bear, Finding Winnie highlights the people and stories behind the origins of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh. The story had even more heartfelt moments, for it was written by the great-granddaughter of Harry Colebourn, Winnie’s original owner. The author uniquely plays off of this, telling the story with layers of narration to her own son, until Winnie’s story becomes Winnie-the-Pooh’s story.

IDEAS FOR MAKING YOUR CHILD A LIFE-LONG LOVER OF BOOKS Picking up a book and reading for pleasure makes our minds grow. But some kids struggle with reading and for parents this can be very frustrating. Here are some things to keep in mind on ways to turn a young reader's reluctance into enthusiasm: • Encourage your child to read for fun, let them read books they enjoy. Forcing a child to read books that are either not interesting or too difficult will only discourage them from reading. Use their interests and hobbies as starting points. • Don’t rule out magazines! The short, content-based articles are often written at an easy reading level and will spark their interest in a variety of topics. Most bookstore chains have a huge selection of magazines to appeal to almost every interest. • Read aloud to children of all ages. There is no age cutoff for reading aloud. The pleasure of listening to you read, rather than struggling alone, may restore your child's initial enthusiasm for books and reading.

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.

The Mindful Physician and Pooh
UC Irvine Journal for Learning through the Arts Title The Mindful Physician and Pooh Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2v1824q3 Journal Journal for Learning through the Arts, 9(1) Author Winter, Robin O Publication Date 2013 DOI 10.21977/D99116252 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Title: The Mindful Physician and Pooh Author: Robin O. Winter, MD, MMM, JFK Family Medicine Residency Program Abstract Resident physicians are particularly susceptible to burnout due to the stresses of residency training. They also experience the added pressures of multitasking because of the increased use of computers and mobile devices while delivering patient care. Our Family Medicine residency program addresses these problems by teaching residents about the mindful practice of medicine. We utilize A. A. Milne’s classic children’s books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, along with Benjamin Hoff’s The Tao of Pooh to explain Dr. Ron Epstein’s four habits of mindfulness: attentive observation, critical curiosity, beginner’s mind, and presence. We also use video clips from two Disney movies, The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh and A Day for Eeyore as well as Kenny Loggins’ song, House at Pooh Corner. With Winnie-the-Pooh’s help, residents learn how to become more mindful physicians by incorporating Epstein’s four habits of mindfulness into their daily practice. Key Words: Mindfulness, mindful physician, burnout, multitasking, Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, Ron Epstein, habits of mindfulness, The Tao of Pooh, Benjamin Hoff, The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh, A Day for Eeyore 1 Dr.
