Winnie-the-Pooh

'There must be a Before,’ said Rabbit, when Christopher Robin was asked about Before he came to the Forest. And so begins the first of ten tales that take readers back to the time when Pooh Bear sat in Harrods, waiting to be bought for Christopher Robin. Including a furry tale in London Zoo, a tall tale at The Natural History Museum and a tiny tale of a nursery mouse, this authorised prequel steps into the younger Christopher Robin’s world; one of den-building, treasure seeking, funny hums and honey!

On a day out to Buckingham Palace, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends play in the snowy gardens, have a thrilling ride on a sledge, and Pooh gets stuck in a snow drift! Then, a surprising discovery leads to an invitation to have tea with the King!

Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't be Kanga and Roo – they're sailing a boat – and it can't be Owl, because he's at home. Could it be Heffalumps who want to eat Pooh's beloved honey? Or perhaps Pooh and Christopher Robin are accompanied by a pair of friends who are never far away on a sunny day.
