Finding Winnie the story of the real bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh Lindsay Mattick ; illustrated by Sophie Blackall - London Orchard Books 2016 - 55 ungezählte Seiten

Before there was Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. Finding Winnie was the winner of the 2016 Caldecott Medal! Here begins the moving true story of the real bear named Winnie adopted by soldiers during World War 1, and the inspiration behind the nation's best-loved bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a vet on his way to tend horses in World War 1, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, and he took her to war. Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey - from the fields of Canada to an army base in England . . . and finally to London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend - a boy named Christopher Robin Milne. . .
