“They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace – Christopher Robin went down with Alice.”
Curl up with A.A.Milne’s classic book of poetry for children, When We Were Very Young. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne – as popular now as when they were first written. This collection is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children’s poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we’ve come to expect from Milne’s favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. This book is all the more special due to E.H.Shepard’s decorations, which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as ‘the man who drew Pooh’.

I really liked When We Were Very Young! The poems were funny and made me smile, and the pictures of Winnie-the-Pooh were so cute. It's a fun book to read before bedtime!

I enjoyed this book because it is full of poems and if you feel like some poetry then it is a great book to read for a bit. It was a good book for school since we don’t get much reading time so one or two poems is a perfect amount. The poems were interesting, fun and exciting so I loved them.

This is a lovely book of poems about Pooh bear and his friends, especially Christopher Robin, but Piglet isn't in there. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes poems about Christopher and his friend, Pooh bear.

I got this book from my friend when I started reception. This book is not a story, it is a book of poems. They are for children and mummies. I liked the original pictures. The same author wrote Winnie the Pooh books. I enjoyed reading this book. The poems were good and funny. I felt happy when I read it. I would recommend this book to a friend. It is for boys and girls. I think this book is for 6, 7, 8 years and older.”
