Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its nature, i.e a child's ephemeral p/back. It really is an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults. 'But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever. So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever!' Curl up with Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin in A. A. Milne's classic book of poetry for children, 'Now We Are Six.' This work includes poems for children which feature Pooh helping Christopher Robin with his schoolwork (if helping is the word). It is an evocation of childhood, through the eyes of the six-year-old Robin. Featuring E. H. Shepard's original illustrations and now coloured by Mark Burgess,'Now We Are Six' is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children's poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we've come to expect from his favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. Do you own all the classic Pooh titles? 'Winnie-the-Pooh','The House at Pooh Corner'; 'When We Were Very Young' and 'Now We Are Six.' Also look out for 'Return to the Hundred Acre Wood' and 'The Best Bear in all the World'.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you're 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
