When Harry Colebourn saw a baby bear for sale at the train station, he knew he could care for it; he was a veterinarian, but he was also a soldier in training for World War I. Harry named the bear Winnie, short for Winnipeg, his company's hometown, and he brought her along to the training camp in England, where she became the regiment's much-loved mascot. But who could care for the bear when Harry had to go to the battleground in France? Harry found just the right place for Winnie while he was away: the London Zoo—and that's when a little boy named Christopher Robin came along. Sally Walker's heartwarming story for Pooh fans 4 to 8 is paired with Jonathan Voss's realistic watercolor, pen, and ink illustrations, whose earth tones beautifully capture the world of a century ago.
