About BookSpeed Now We Are Six
“But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.”
See the world through the eyes of Christopher Robin and his companion Winnie-the-Pooh in this timeless collection of verse by A. A. Milne, beautifully illustrated in colour by E. H. Shepard.
First published in 1927, Now We Are Six follows on from Milne’s earlier poetry collection and sits alongside the beloved Pooh stories. Within its pages you will find treasured poems such as Us Two, Sneezles and In the Dark — verses that capture the seriousness, humour and imagination of childhood with remarkable clarity.
This special hardback edition celebrates 100 years since the first Pooh stories were published in 1926. It is a joyful companion to the classic tales, full of warmth, wit and moments that feel both playful and quietly profound.
Why we love it
At Conscious Craft, we love books that honour childhood without rushing it. Now We Are Six understands the confidence and curiosity of this age. The poems feel personal and familiar, as though they were written from inside a child’s mind.
They are perfect for reading aloud, especially at that magical stage when children feel both small and wonderfully capable. The rhythm and language are rich yet accessible, making it a beautiful introduction to poetry for young readers.
It is a book to give when a child turns six, or to treasure long after six has passed.
