“Today was a difficult day,” said Pooh. There was a pause.

“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Piglet.

“No,” said Pooh after a bit. “No, I don’t think I do.”

“That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

“What are you doing?” asked Pooh.

“Nothing, really,” said Piglet. “Only, I know what difficult days are like. I quite often don’t feel like talking about it on my difficult days either.”

“But goodness,” continued Piglet. “Difficult days are so much easier when you know you’ve got someone there for you. And I’ll always be here for you, Pooh.”

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his difficult day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs….he thought that his best friend had never been more right.

🎞️ When it was announced that Mickey Mouse’s design from “Steamboat Willie” would be entering public domain, I contemplated whether or not to do my own take on Mickey’s particular design from 1928. Last October, I had done a drawing of Mickey with Tigger on animation paper to commemorate the 100th birthday of the Walt Disney Company. As a character, Mickey Mouse is still protected by copyright and trademark laws. Plus, A.A. Milne’s version of Tigger is now in the public domain. Tigger did not make his debut until the second (and last) original “Winnie the Pooh” book, “The House at Pooh Corner”. 🐭🐯

“Winnie-the-Pooh”, A. A. Milne

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

Round 4, Poll 2: Winnie-the-Pooh vs A Series of Unfortunate Events

He sits and thinks of the things they know

He and the Forest, alone together

The springs that come and the summers that go,

Autumn dew on bracken and heather,

The drip of the Forest beneath the snow…

Winnie-the-Pooh 

(Handmade Soft Toy in celebration of National Winnie the Pooh Day and the birthday of A A Milne)

No children's author has quite understood how children play with their toys except for A.A. Milne, who wrote a story about two new stuffed animals being added to the collection, causing the already present toys to panic and immediately resort to kidnapping a child as the obvious solution

There will be a new Winnie the Pooh book coming out on September 28th called Winnie the Pooh Tales From The Forest. Soon I will have all eight of these Winnie the Pooh books. And I hope they can all be put together into a new book called The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie The Pooh Updated Edition. That would be so cool.
