Finding Winnie

Well I am certainly happy that I found Winnie! This year's Caldecott winner is Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear. It is a delightful tale about a WWI veterinarian who rescues a baby bear. After winning the hearts of the soldiers, Winnie eventually has to go and live at the London Zoo. It's there that she meets a young boy named Christopher Robin and his dad, A.A. Milne.  The rest, as they say, is history!
This is such a sweet story and of course the illustrations are AMAZING. I really enjoyed the last few pages where they share photos of the real Winnie and Christopher Robin. I'm not sure that kids would be allowed in the zoo's bear pen in this day and age, but lucky for us all, Winnie became great friends with the Milne family. This one is definitely being added to our library.
