Winnie-the-Pooh's 50 things to do before you're 5 3/4

Full of adventure, expotitions and muddy puddles

I spied this book in an art gallery in Inverness. The title looked appealing. I think I will gift this to a young family who have a new son. There are so many terrific and easy ideas in this little book and it is filled with Winnie-the-Pooh quotes and EH Sheppard original illustrations. If I was with a young child or two for the day I would like to invent cloud stories, host a teddy bears picnic, play hopscotch and feed the ducks at my lake. I think that would be a very satisfying day indeed.

"Christopher Robin was sitting outside his door, putting on his Big Boots. As soon as he saw the Big Boots, Pooh knew that an Adventure was going to happen."

"Tracks,' said Piglet. 'Pawmarks.' He gave a little squeak of excitement. 'Oh, Pooh! Do you thing it's a -a-a- Woozle?"
