Winnie the Pooh Day

Fancy an excuse to reconnect with your childhood? It"s Winnie the Pooh Day today! That’s right, that "willy-nilly silly old bear" has a day to himself! It"s actually the birthday of Alan Alexander Milne, the man who brought Pooh and his pals to life. Inspired by Milne"s son Christopher Robin and his stuffed animals, the stories have captured the hearts of readers for nearly a century.
