Rendition During Books When We Were Very Young (Winnie-the-Pooh #3)
Shall I go off to South America?Shall I put out in my ship to sea?
Or get in my cage and be lions and tigers?
Or - shall I be only Me?
Extraordinarily funny and cute, When We Were Very Young features a variety of poems by A. A. Milne. One of them first introduces us to Winnie-the-Pooh.
While I enjoyed most of them, and love others dearly, a few didn't hold my interest and were rather unimpressive.
It's one of those books that I will read to my future children, if they'll like it or not.
P.S.: Can someone please tell me what is the matter with Mary Jane?

It's okish. Maybe is a kid I'd have been amused by the rhymes, but it felt overall silly. I didn't like the excessive line repetitions in the longer poems just for the sake of rhythm and melody. Some of the poems were on the brink of moral lessons and others were purely whimsical.Childhood is a beautiful country, one which I was loath to leave but had to, all the same. It is the inevitable tragedy of the human condition. But writers have the magic in their pens, using which they can take us back to that hallowed place. This is one thing that A. A. Milne does wonderfully well. No wonder his books for children have outlived his more "serious" works.Reading these poems, I could visit Christopher Robin's pre-school world of late mornings, drowsy afternoons and exciting days
Ive always assumed Milnes poetry books were related to Pooh my mistake. Even though there are a couple of teddy bear type poems, they are not based around our beloved Winnie the Pooh. As much as I hate to say this about Milne, the magic in this book is on-again-off-again throughout. Poems not to miss, should you only want to read the highlights: Independence, Nursery Chairs, Daffodowndilly, The Island, Hoppity, Halfway Down, and Vespers.

I think I might have enjoyed it more had I read it as a kid. I read the poems to my son who liked a few of them and was indifferent towards the rest of them. Will try reading to him once he is little older to see if he likes them.
1924 was the year Alan Alexander Milne published When We Were Very Young, the first in a steady stream of classics featuring some of the most charming characters in the history of British literature. In it, illustrator Ernest H. Shepard defines the visual trajectory of Winnie-the-Pooh for a century and beyond, and we meet Christopher Robin, a tiny chap bursting with enthusiasm to explore the great big world. He is our guide through most of the poems in this book, and his energy quickly gets the
