Pam,
Hi! I used to write a column for a teddy bear magazine and did a
two part column on Pooh. Winnie's birthday can be celebrated on two
different days. Winnie the Pooh was given to Christopher Robin Milne on
Christopher's first birthday, August 21, 1921. However, Pooh's birthday
is commonly listed as the publication date of "Winnie-the-Pooh" which
was October 14th, 1926. If you look in the annual Winnie the Pooh
Calendar published by E. P. Dutton, October 14th is marked as Pooh's
birthday.
Years ago, when Pooh and his friends used to live in the lobby of E.
P. Dutton, my preschool story hour kids and I made birthday cards and
sent them to Pooh c/o E. P. Dutton. We received a wonderful letter in
response "from Eeyore." Last week I visited Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore,
Tigger, and Kanga (Roo was lost in the 100 Acre Woods) in their new
home. Since 1987, Pooh and friends have lived in the Donnell Library
Center of the New York Public Library.
