Now We Are Six (Winnie-the-Pooh)

A perfect book to read to babies and toddlers, the poetry inside has rhymes with meter and rhythm that will be pleasing to both children AND adults. Children ADORE rhymes, the rhythm very much appeals to them, which is why we have nursery rhymes. Unfortunately the sing-songy quality can quickly annoy the heck out of parents who end up reading them over and over and over again, for years.... But rhymes are very important to a child's developmental process. "Now We Are Six" is one you will never tire of reading, AA Milne captures the thoughts of children beautifully. They may have been written during his time period, but there is still a timeless quality to the imaginations and wonders of his poetry. My four children, now adults, grew up with this book and STILL love it. Now their children enjoy it, I provide childcare for my granddaughter and read it to her every single time she comes to my house, and I sent this to my grandchildren in another state. I have also loved passing this book onto other new mommies and daddies in addition to baby shower gifts.

Awesome

Truly a book for any age. Beautiful edition. I bought it for a friend who has a new grandchild. Having a hard time giving it away. I have a old edition from the forties too.

I love this book! The variety of the poems keeps you interested. The final poem is favorite of everyone. My mom bought it for my when I turned 6 many many years ago. And when each of my daughters turned 6, they got their own copy. If they have children some day I hope they pass the tradition down to them as well.

My daughter just turned 6 years old and I had heard this was a great gift from a magazine. They were right! We both LOVE this book of poems and my daughter enjoys reading them to me (with a little help, of course). I highly recommend this for young readers.

When I was six, my mother read to me. I had all the Winnie the Pooh books and my mom read them all to me before bedtime. My brothers she also read to but their comments either faking sleep or lack of interest. Me? I would always say, "and then, what happened"? I bought this book for a mom in my church whose youngest had just turned six and she said through the night reading, "And then what happened?". :+)

Ok these is the sweetest set of books. They are old fashioned looking with soft cloth front and rather purposeful uneven page edges—as would the original 1900’s binding appear. I read some reviews that negatively pointed this out, but this is on purpose. If you don’t like the appearance of an old fashioned book than this book isn’t for you. For me, I purchased the entire series, as I adore vintage books and the Winnie the Pooh series. I said I was buying for my children, whom I have read these stories to, but really…these were for me!!

I purchased this book to read to my grandchildren. I keep it on the end table and read a poem or two to a grandchild most days. The children like the illustrations, and enjoy the poems, and I do too. It is also a great way to expose children to new words and ideas.

Had this book too when I was very young. Shared it with my children. Also gave it to my grandsons. This was a gift for my granddaughter.

Lovely gift for small boy aged six on hhis birthday especially

just wonderful. i loved this little book of poems when i was a kid and don't know what happened to my childhood copy. it was so nice to find it here again. i am enjoying reading these little poems to my adopted 8 year old boy. he is just learning to speak english and he loves the rhythm and sounds of the poems (even if he can't understand all the words yet). this book is true to the original and has all the illustrations too.

詩集です。 プーさんやロビンも登場します。 英語のレベルは，プーさんよりも簡単な気がします。詩一編に対して，絵が１つ以上ありますので，その分，読みやすいのかもしれません。 朗読 CD も発売されているので，併せて購入されることをお勧めします。 (ISBN:0060540451ID)

My favourite gift for a 6 year old. It’s a fun book of poems to read with a 6 year old.
