Before there was honey trouble in the Hundred Acre Wood, there were poems.
Join Christopher Robin on a trip to Buckingham Palace, discover what a King likes for breakfast, and meet the best bear in all the world for the very first time. When We Were Very Young is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by A. A. Milne, brought to life with the original colour illustrations by E. H. Shepard.
First published in 1924, this beautiful hardback edition celebrates 100 years of the stories and poems that introduced readers to Christopher Robin and, quietly, to a certain bear who would soon become world famous.
The poems are playful, observant and full of gentle humour. They capture the small dramas of childhood, the importance of imagination and the seriousness with which children approach their world. Some will make you smile, some may surprise you, and many will sound delightful read aloud.
At Conscious Craft, we value language that respects childhood. These poems feel timeless. They are clever without being complicated and funny without being loud. They invite children to listen carefully and to notice the rhythm of words.
It is a book that grows with you. Younger children will enjoy the sound and repetition. Older children begin to catch the humour hidden between the lines. It makes a beautiful family read-aloud and a meaningful gift for marking a special birthday or milestone.
