“hallo, rabbit,” he said, “is that you?”
“let’s pretend it isn’t,” said rabbit, “and see what happens.”
― A. A. Milne

A brilliant and far-sighted writer was A. A. Milne. I think Winnie-the-Pooh is if not the very best work of fiction ever created then it is clearly one of the very best.

Rabbit is alway a no nonsense type of character. I wonder where he is at?

Winnie the Pooh stories heard over and over again never lose delight. And yes, they must be heard!
The best way to settle down a class of noisy (slightly unruly) 2nd graders is to not say a word but sit down on the rug with a book in hand. :)

Kids are lucky to know Mr. Milne. We adults are lucky to remember. Our family quotes him back-and-forth.

A lovely quote! Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood is based on Ashdown Forest, a place I often pop to for a walk. Pooh Sticks Bridge is quite a tourist attraction there nowadays!

I don’t remember a lot of Pooh in my childhood or my son’s. But anymore that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I watched a special about rabbits on public television for awhile last evening. Quite interesting to see the many types. I watched until the hawks and owls noticed the rabbits. Then I turned off the TV.
