For the final day in our Week of Poetry I'm going to shake things up again (or settle them down) and share a beautiful old favourite. A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh, published "When We Were Very Young" in 1924, and together with its follow-up, "Now We Are Six", it remains in print to this day. Full of sweet, gentle, sometimes silly verses that are still appealing to small children, and beautiful, evocative vocabulary, this is a wonderful read on a quiet day, and a great addition to any family library. ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #whenwewereveryyoung #nowwearesix #winniethepooh #christopherrobin #aamilne #aamilnepoems #ernesthshepard #ehshepard #ehshepardillustrations #methuen #dellyearling #duttonbooksforyoungreaders #1920sbooks #1920schildrensbooks #1920s #beautifulpoetry #childrenspoetry #poetryforchildren #poetrycollection #bookish #bibliophile #earlyyears #oldbooks #vintagechildrensbook #antiquechildrensbook https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3bXgInKDb/?igshid=16otz4e2hxeoa
