Product Description

When We Were Very Young, the first of A. A. Milne's four world-famous books for children, was first published in 1924. With its companion volume Now We Are Six, the little books became two of the biggest bestsellers in publishing history. Children all over the world have heard about the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace; the three little foxes who kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes; and, of course, Christopher Robin, named for A. A. Milne's son. Adults and older children will enjoy Milne's poems too, as some of his humor is subtly directed at a more sophisticated audience. But younger children are the ones who love the naughty Mary Jane and the bears on the corners of London's streets. For sheer delightfulness the children's rhymes of A. A. Milne are in a class by themselves, with their charm, humor, and understanding -- to say nothing of their irresistible rhythms.

Great book
Just in great condition.Book is exactly how I remembered it as a child.

A CD worth having!
Miranda Richardson does a fine job reading the poems, with a clear voice. I do not always agree with her interpretations of the intent, but she is still very pleasant to listen to, and the poems are, of course, absolutely wonderful. My sons love this recording, too. These books belong before the Pooh books, though Pooh appears here and there. ... Read more

Horrid is as Horrid Does
This book is charming and my children love it. They can never get enough rereadings and seem to laugh at all the mischief Henry manages to inflict on his family.Since Henry's parents seem to favor his brother, Perfect Peter, this is Henry's chance to star on his own.I recommend it highly.

Horrid Henry Strikes It Rich
I am 7 1/2 yrs. old and I loved this book, along with the other Horrid Henry books.Henry is horrible, especially to his younger brother named "Perfect Peter".But the things Henry does are very funny - they make me laugh. There are 4 chapters in this book.My favorite chapter isthe last one titled "Horrid Henry's Christmas".I laughed whenHenry switched the his name tags on the Christmas gift with his cousin"Stuck-up Steve".The words are written in British, but Iunderstand them and enjoy learning the new words. ...
