Now We Are Six

A treasured children’s classic of 35 delightful poems, this lovely hardcover edition of Now We Are Six is British author A. A. Milne’s second book of poetry, published in 1927. Charming verses capture the inner voice of a child’s imaginings upon turning six years old. Memorably illustrated in eleven of the poems is cuddly Pooh Bear (Winnie-the-Pooh), inspired by illustrator E. H. Shepard’s son’s teddy bear, Growler. The verses include “The Charcoal-Burner,” “The End,” “The Engineer,” “Forgotten,” “The Friend,” “Furry Bear,” “In the Dark,” “Knight-in-Armour,” “The Morning Walk,” “Us Two,” and “Waiting at the Window.”
