Christopher Robin Poems: A Delightful Selection

Almost everyone knows about Winnie the Pooh, but not as many know about the Christopher Robin Poems.  There were two collections of these poems, later gathered into a single book, The World of Christopher Robin.  These are poems that my sons and my grandkids know very well because Jane and I read them over and over.  (Recently we mentioned this collectin to my grandson and he began to recite the one that he liked the most).  

Kids love to hear things like this over and over but for parents, or grandparents, to engage in this repetitious recitation,  there has to be a certain entertainment value for the performer.   And these poems were a delight to read.   Maybe that is why I have wanted for some time to do a podcast reading some of them to you.  

These were written a hundred years ago, which means they are now out of copyright. 

I am only reading a selection, so I encourage you to buy the book, especially if you have a young person in your life.  

Hint:  You can start reading to them as soon as they can hold their head up.  They won't understand the words but they will understand the music and rhythm of the poems, and will know that you love them enough to hold them and read these poems over and over. 

And if our experience is any indication, they will grow up to be amazing human beings.
