Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrate A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard's work with this large-format, special edition of When We Were Very Young. In it, Christopher Robin takes us on an adventure to "Buckingham Palace." We catch a glimpse of a child's opinion of manners in "Politeness." Mary Jane throws a tantrum at supper. The King is not fussy about butter. Little Boy Blue promises to love Little Bo-Peep for ever and ever. Teddy Bear, also known as Mr. Edward Bear, stands proud, short, and stout. We learn where the best place is to sit on the stairs, and in the end, are reminded little boys say their prayers. These forty-four poems continue to delight readers throughout the years.
