A.A. Milne
A.A. Milne's characters are famous around the world. Walt Disney made them into movie stars. One of the reasons that the movies are so special is that they stick very close to Milne's books.
If you are a fan of the movies then check out The House At Pooh Corner and see how much of the text you already have memorized. They are filled with funny situations, friends that care about each other and interesting language. His books are special to both children and adults.
His two poetry books are When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. Many of the poems are very funny. They are tough for young children to read. One problem seems to be that they are always printed in the small type commonly used in all books during the 1920's. Hey parents - they are perfect read-alouds! Lots of fun to read and discuss.
