When I first heard his name I said, just as you are going' to say, 'But I thought he was a boy!' 'So did I,' said, Christopher Robin. (Then you can't call him Winnie.?' I don't . . . He's Winnie-ther-pooh. Don't you know what ther means? Ah yes, now I do,' I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get.'' Thus begins the tale of the amazing adventures of Christopher Robin's favorite Big" Bear and of the charming Christopher. Winnie-the-pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders, and Christopher lived behind a green door in another part of the same wood. The tales which follow are all related. in Milne's delightful prose and still more delectable verse and will be welcomed by the thousands, both young and old, who have learned to love "When We Were Very Young'."

The book focuses on the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; and Rabbit, a live rabbit. The characters of Kanga, a toy kangaroo, and her son Roo are introduced later in the book, in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath." The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner.
