Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne
3.0

Charming little collection of poetry, often funny but not always, and with a leaping-from-this-to-the-next quality that's very indicative of childhood. Winnie appears briefly but not often, it's more about Christopher Robin though there's random pieces of whimsy here and there on other characters. It's mostly beetle-capturing and fishing and playing pretend in the nursery - as I said, charming, if rather slight, but I suspect the charm lies in the slightness.
