if you’ve ever picked up a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne, you’ll immediately notice that it is written with sophistication and a certain amount of dry British wit, employing turns of phrase not usually found in children’s stories. That is what sets the Winnie-the-Pooh books apart from all others. Interestingly enough, despite the success of their partnership, A.A. Milne and Ernest H. Shepard only had a working relationship and never became close friends.
I read kids books is what I do. It's just me, reading kids books and writing my thoughts. I have a M.Ed. in Children's Literature, so in my years of researching children’s literature, I’ve found that children’s literature is essential to the personal and academic development of all children because it is a window that not only opens, but also reflects the diversity of our human experience. More importantly, it lets young readers and readers of all ages know that children and people like them are worthy of being in books.
