This is a book of 35 children verses. This book is original Winnie-the-pooh and quote a few of the poems in this book are of them. There is also a lot of nonsense poems about kings and emperors. There are poems about the Knight Whose Armer Didn't Squeak, Alexander the Beetle, and much more. 

This book can be introduced in the poetry unit. It is very imaginative and well written. It is not an ordinary book of poem and it included Pooh walking through the poems as if he is walking through the story making appearances in some of the poems. It can be a model for children to expand their imagination.

The illustrations in this book are beautiful. They are sketches that really help bring the story to life and really make the book seem as if the book is not just a collection of poems, but an actual story.
